Pay invoices on their due date

Completed

When you use the Suggest Vendor Payments batch job to create payment lines for your vendors, you can fill two special fields to make sure that the generated lines use the due date to calculate the posting date: Calculate Posting Date from Applies-to-Doc Due Date and Applies-to-Doc Due Date Offset.

To pay invoices on their due date, follow these steps:

  1. Select the Search for Page icon in the top-right corner of the page, enter payment journals, and then select the related link.

  2. Open the relevant journal.

  3. On the action menu, select Prepare > Suggest Vendor Payments.

  4. On the Options FastTab, select Show more to display all fields.

  5. Select Calculate Posting Date from Applies-to-Doc Due Date.

  6. Enter the Applies-to-Doc Due Date Offset to specify a period that will separate the payment posting date from the due date on the invoice. Example 1: To pay the invoice on the Friday in the week of the due date, enter CW-2D (current week minus two days). Example 2: To pay the invoice two days before the due date, enter -2D (minus two days).

  7. Select OK.
