Enhanced cross-division capabilities for Automatic Bank Statements
Support for multi-division supplier payments has been added for Automatic Bank Statements. This means that multi-division payments of both customer invoices and supplier invoices can be handled in 'Bank Statement. Open' (ABS100).
The following scenario types are not supported for 'Multi-division payments':
1 = GL
6 = AR, direct debiting Danish model
7 = GL, credit card settlement
8 = AR, prepayment
Creation of general ledger transactions is only handled for the division in which the bank statement is received. If the FAM function selected for GL on (ABS900/E) has been defined for cross-division vouchers on (CRS406/E), an error message will be displayed on (ABS900/E), even if the parameter 'Multi-division payments' has been activated on (ABS900/E).
For scenario type 2 (AR), multi-division payments are not supported for search path invoice 5, used for credit card payments (in table FIRCON).
For processing of electronic bank confirmation for multi-division supplier payments, the bank statement must belong to the same division as the payment proposal. This means that the following situation is not supported: Three payment proposals are created in divisions AAA, BBB, and CCC, respectively. Then only one bank statement is created from blank division for division AAA, containing electronic bank confirmation of the payment of supplier invoices in divisions AAA, BBB, and CCC. In this situation, the supplier invoices in all three divisions will be allocated to the bank statement, but only the payments in division AAA will be automatically updated in (APS188) and (APS187).
There are two limitations for multi-division manual allocations:
- Allocation of group invoices in sorting order 5 in 'Payment Received. Record' (ARS110) is limited to allocation of invoices in local division.
- Allocation of invoices through parallel invoice number in (ARS110) and 'Suppl Payment. Enter Manual' (APS120) is limited to invoices in local division.
However, automatic allocation of group invoices and parallel invoice numbers do handle multi-division payments.
