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.

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.

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.
