Assigning bank relations to automatic cash processes

If you specify a default bank for the business partner, LN uses the default bank for invoices, advance payments, and unallocated payments. However, in the automatic payment or direct debits procedure, you can overwrite the default bank in the payment advice or the direct debit advice.

For the automatic payment or direct debits process, if the Bank Relation field of an invoice document is blank, LN searches for a bank relation for each transaction in this order:

1. The bank relation you select in the Payment Advice Lines (tfcmg1101m000) session.
2. The bank relation that results from the bank distribution process. For details, refer to Bank distribution.

3. The bank relation that answers these conditions:

   • The bank currency is equal to the transaction currency.
   • The country of the bank's address is equal to the country of the business partner's address.

   If several bank relations are found, LN selects the bank relation to which you assign the highest priority in the Bank Relation (tfcmg0110s000) session.

4. A bank relation in the country of the business partner. If several bank relations are found, LN selects the bank relation that has the highest priority in the Bank Relation (tfcmg0110s000) session.

5. The bank relation you select in the Bank Relation for Payments or the Bank Relation for Direct Debits field of the CMG Parameters (tfcmg0100s000) session.

If no bank relation is found, LN automatically starts the Assign Banks to Payments (Manually) (tfcmg1251m000) or the Assign Banks to Direct Debits Manually (tfcmg4251s000) session, and you must select a bank relation for the transaction.
