General
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Check before Post. Purch. Doc. | Specifies whether payment information must be validated when posting the purchase document. This is recommended. If this validation is not enabled, validation of payment information will not take place before the payments are created in the payment journal. |
| Additional Payment Methods | Here you can decide which options the program should show when you want to change the payment method on a purchase document - e.g. if a purchase invoice with FI-75 payment slip is desired to be changed to a faster payment method such as an account to account transfer. There are 3 options: |
| Move Pmt. Discount Date | Specifies whether you want to move the cash discount date if the date is a bank holiday. You can choose between 3 options: |
| Unique Company Code | If you have multiple legal entities, and use Payment Management in more than one of those, you may need to create a unique company code in each legal entity. |
| Use Online-CBIC | CBIC, or Continia Bank Integration Component, is a component provided by Continia. The component converts the payment files, before they are sent to the bank, ensuring that the file format is supported by the requirements of the receiving bank. Also CBIC converts the status files and bank statements received from the bank, to a format that Payment Management can read. |
| Use Online Test CBIC | Same function as described under Use Online-CBIC, only with the difference that if you check this box, you will use a newer test-version of the CBIC component on Continia Online. |

| Synchronize with Vendor | Specifies whether the information (name, address and payment information) on the Payment Information window on the vendor, should be synchronized with the information stated on the vendor card. This will ensure that if one of the fields is changed on the vendor card, then the corresponding field on the vendor payment information is synchronized, and vice versa. |

Customer - Payment slip - Import
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Payment ID Mask | Payment Management comes with predefined reports for printing invoices and account statements with FI slip. (See more under Setting up reports for printing FIK/GIK payment slips) |
Note
If the Payment ID on the FI/GI slip (OCR line) has not been correctly written or placed, your bank will charge a fee for processing the FI/GI slip. The fee will be deducted from your bank account, and the information about the fee will typically be linked to the FIK/GIK payment.
When importing the file, Payment Management creates an additional line with the fee, as well as a description of the reason why the fee has been charged. In order for Payment Management to decide on which general ledger account the fee is to be posted, you must enter a fee account in the bank accounting group associated with your bank account.
