For some steps, you can indicate that the step is optional. For every trade note, LN records the status of a trade note as it is created, accepted, sent to the bank, endorsed, matured, and so on.

Payment/Receipt Method The payment method code. The payment method is used to define the procedure/process for payment/receipt. Details Payment Details Receipt/Payment This field indicates whether the payment method refers to a Payment or to a Receipt. Kind of Payment/Receipt The type of payment or receipt of the payment/receipt method. The type of payment or receipt determines how LN will process the payment or the receipt. Trade Note Type If the Kind of Payment/Receipt is Trade Note, this is the trade note type which is defined in the Trade Note Types (tfcmg0516m000) session. Allow Negative Payment for Credit notes If this check box is selected, LN allows negative amounts in the payment files. If the bank can handle payments of negative amounts, select this check box. For example, a payment amount can be negative if you select invoices and credit notes for the payment run and the sum total of the credit notes exceeds the sum total of the invoices. Some banks offer the service to keep the negative payments in storage for a period of time and to counterbalance it with positive payments from the same customer to the same business partner. After the agreed retention period has expired, the bank transfers any remaining amount to their customer. Maximum Amount The company's reference currency. Maximum Amount Enter the maximum amount you can pay to a business partner using this payment method. This amount is expressed in the reference currency. If the payment amount exceeds this amount, LN uses the payment method you select in the Alt Payment/Receipt Method field. To access this field, the payment method must be for automatic payments. Alt Payment/Receipt Method The alternative payment method is the payment method to be used when the amount to be paid exceeds the maximum amount entered in the Maximum Amount field. Example You select payment method B3. This payment method is reserved for payment orders. You enter 15,000 as the maximum amount and select C3 as the alternative payment method. For example, payments in excess of 15,000 are made by check. If an attempt is made to pay a supplier 16,000 by means of method B3, in the automatic payment procedure, LN automatically pays by C3 instead of B3.
