Payment Management v7

Release date: October 1, 2022
FOB version: 7.00

New or changed functionality

Functional areaDescriptionID
Statement IntelligenceWe have changed an error message in standard Business Central to better explain when the opening statement balance on the bank account card does not match the opening balance on the reconciliation. Error message occurs when trying to post the reconciliation.13338
Statement IntelligenceWhen creating lines in the cash receipt journal it was possible to get lines created with a blank account no. even though customer no. was entered on the bank statement line. Now we will use the customer no. from the bank statement line on the line created in the cash receipt journal. But only in the instances where account no. would otherwise have been blank.26766
Statement IntelligenceWhen importing an account statement with no entries present you would get a message stating that no account statement was found for the given bank account. This could lead to some confusion as to what was happening. Did the import fail? Were there no account statements downloaded from the bank etc? We now check to see if there were entries in the imported account statement and if there were not then we give the user a message stating; Files were imported correctly but no entries were present.35101
Payment and Cash ReceiptsUse of search name when importing CAMT.054. If we fail to identify Camt.54 records (In payments) in the "Data imported from Banks" table we now use Search Name from the Bank Account. In line with how we do it when importing bank account reconciliation lines.40979
Payment and Cash ReceiptsWe have changed the way we try to find a balance account when creating purchase documents and when running suggest vendor payments. Prior to this change you would get an error message saying; "Bank does not exist", when running suggest vendor payments and you had lines with a currency code to which no balance account could be found.

This would typically happen when Payment Management was first installed and used. The change means that as long as you have at least one entry in the balancing account setup, with a blank currency code, then suggest vendor payments will revert to using this bank account instead of giving an error message. When searching for a balancing account the following rules apply:

1: Find Bank Account specific for the vendor and currency code.
2: If not found, then look for vendor-specific bank account with blank currency code.
3: If not found, then look for general bal. account with matching currency code.
4: If still not found, then look for general bal. account with blank currency code.

If none of these exist then the error message will still be shown.

Bug fixes

Functional areaDescriptionID
General ApplicationBefore allowing a Bank to be renamed we now check if there is a certificate attached. If there is we do not allow the bank to be renamed as that would result in the certificate being left behind on the old name.13357
Payment and Cash ReceiptsIt is now possible to edit the description mask on Payment Journal Setup via Lookup without the existing value in the field being overwritten.13433
Statement IntelligenceIf you had a customer who's name exceeded 50 characters you would get an error message when entering the Customer No. on the bank account reconciliation line. The field has been extended to accommodate the new longer customer names.39347
General ApplicationWhen setting up the e-mail advice method on the vendor payment method we now check to make sure that the e-mail address is present on the vendor payment information. If not we will give a warning, but will allow the change.13334
General ApplicationAll banks now try to get a Bank ID through TIETOEVRY communication. This should only be done for banks connected to the TIETOEVRY bank bookkeeping central. This has been fixed.40851

Payment and Cash ReceiptsIf a bank account has the same currency code entered as the LCY code we will force the Bank Account Currency Code onto the Cash Receipts Journal line to ensure the line can still be posted.

Statement IntelligenceOn the account statement line new fields called "Cust. Document Type" and "Cust. Document no." have been added. Here you can enter a document type and no. When this is done the system will check to see if the document is open. If it is open we create a line in the cash receipt journal of type Payment that will apply to the entered document no. and have the bank account as balance account. After posting of the line the system will then be able to automatically reconcile the new bank ledger entry. If the customer document no. entered is found to be closed the system will try to locate the bank ledger entry that was created at the time and set that bank ledger entry to be reconciled. If the system finds a closed bank account ledger entry on another bank account than the one currently being reconciled the system will give a message stating so.13330
