Introducing payment allocation
Payment allocation lets you distribute a single payment across multiple bank accounts based on defined rules. This is useful when regulations require separating specific components of a payment, such as taxes, social security contributions, and service fees, for example when paying (sub-)contractors in the Netherlands.
Continia Banking supports predefined allocation types. For example:
- G account - allocates a percentage of each payment to a dedicated G account, which holds funds for tax and social security purposes. For more information, see Setting up payment allocation for a G account.
- Partial - splits a payment into separate entries with different amounts and due dates. For more information, see Setting up payment allocation for partial payments in Continia Banking.
You can also create custom allocation types to cover other scenarios, such as VAT-only calculations. For more information, see Setting up and managing payment allocations.
Note
Payment allocation entries support the same On Hold functionality as customer and vendor ledger entries. When a related ledger entry is placed on hold, its open payment allocation entries are automatically updated with the same status. When the hold is removed, the allocation entries are updated accordingly.
