Business partner file maintenance, A/R payment modes (GDMD0111)

Related topics

This panel enables you to select which method(s) of payment you want to use for a specific debtor. The different payment methods are established in Work with A/R payment modes, and only apply for the Work with A/R payment proposals routine. If no payment methods are active, then no invoices from this debtor can be paid through the Work with A/R payment proposals routine.

A SEPA payment mode cannot be mixed with other payment modes in Work with A/R payment proposals. It means that the SEPA Direct Debit payment mode must be the main mode for the debtor’s A/R payment mode or entered on invoice level. Additional requirements are that the SEPADD function must be activated in the Function control file and the connected mandate on the A/R payment mode, SEPA Direct Debit panel in the Business partner file must be active. See About mandate handling for more information.

The current layout supported by the system is the one for draft/bill handling and SEPA Direct Debit, but several payment modes can be set up for the same layout. Click Add to enter a payment mode for the debtor.

Note: A SEPA payment mode cannot be mixed with other payment modes in Work with A/R payment proposals.

Payment mode to add
Enter the payment mode you want to add. If you have several payment modes in Work with A/R payment modes, then you can add several payment modes on the debtor. The different payment modes can, for example, control different document types for drafts/bills, which is the payment mode supported by the system.

The SEPADD function must be activated in the Function control file to add a SEPA Direct Debit payment mode and you will only be able to add this payment mode once. Note: You cannot set up several debtor banks connected to the same SEPA payment mode, since the debtor’s bank is defined in Work with Direct Debit mandates. If necessary, you can always set up several SEPA payment modes. See About mandate handling for more information.
