Creating payment templates for bank transfers
Payment Templates
To be able to make bank transfers, you need one or more payment templates that contain the most important recurring details as well as the default values for filter criteria.
In the application, open the Payment Templates overview and create a new payment template using the +New action. Assign a unique Code.
Note
Find out the meaning and functions of the individual fields from the tooltips that are stored in the application. The tooltips appear when you move the mouse over the label of the respective field.
Warning
Please be sure to create a template with the correct Payment Type. For bank transfers and checks, the payment type is Outgoing.
For SEPA transfers, select the File Format SEPA.
For the date calculation fields, please use the date formulas provided by the Business Central standard. For example, enter +5T (5 days from work date) if you want the customer or vendor ledger entries that are due in the next 5 days to be suggested.
Tip
Please take into account that the formulas for date calculation must be selected so that the result date is after the work date. Please coordinate with your bank regarding the lead times for the execution date.
On the Bank tab, you can define which of your bank accounts should be proposed during file creation.
On the Filter tab, if required, you can specify the criteria according to which ledger entries to be suggested when using this payment template. You can set up the filter by account or by ledger entry.
Warning
Please note that overhangs during file generation can lead to termination. For example, overhangs occur when a vendor's credit amounts exceed the invoice amounts. Edit proposals that contain an overhang accordingly before file generation.
In the Payments tab, specify additional parameters for selecting the proposed ledger entries. For example, specify whether vendors with a priority indicator should be given preferential treatment when distributing available amounts.
If your Local Currency is EUR, then please leave the Payment Currency Code field empty.
Finally, on the Execution tab, select the Archiving Method Workbook to be applied after the processing of a payment proposal has been completed. We recommend setting the Archiving Method Workbook to ArchivingDeleting so that the respective Outgoing Payment will be moved to the Archived Outgoing Payments after the payment file has been created and posted.
