Adjust supplier payment proposal in (APS630)
Adjust the basic values for the payment proposal and separate invoice records included, and then create the final payment documents.
The adjustments involve changing the supplier invoices in the accounts payable file and then creating a new proposal. You can also adjust some values directly in the proposal before confirming it.
Before you start
You must create and verify a payment proposal in 'Suppl Payment Proposal. Open' (APS630).
Work flow
This diagram shows the work flow of (APS630):
Decide what to do
- Start 'Suppl Payment Proposal. Open' (APS630).
On (APS630/B), you can sort the proposals based on one standard sorting order and two standard view descending orders. You can also configure your own user-defined sorting order and view in 'Sorting Order. Open' (CRS022) and 'View. Open' (CRS020).
- Select one of these alternatives:
- If an error report is printed, see the Adjust the settings based on the error report section.
- To change the payee or other values in the accounts payable file, see the Change the payee and other invoice values in the Accounts Payable File section.
- To change the basic data for the entire proposal, see the Change the basic data for the proposal section.
- To change separate records in the proposal, see the Change the separate records in the proposal section.
- To manually add new invoice records without having to create a new proposal, see the Add a new invoice record to the proposal section.
- To print and review a simulation of payment documents and account entries when the proposal is confirmed, see the Create a preview of simulated payment documents and account entries section.
- View additional information about the invoice.
- If the proposal is correct, see Perform supplier payments based on payment proposal.
Adjust the settings based on the error report
- Review the error report.
- Adjust the incorrect invoice records according to the list of error statuses in Use payment proposals to create supplier payments in (APS630).
- Create a new payment proposal and start (APS630).
Change the payee and other invoice values in the Accounts Payable file
- Start 'Accounts Payable. Display' (APS200/B).
- Select option 9='Change payee' for the invoice.
- On the E-panel, specify the new payee. Press Enter to return to the B panel.
- Start (APS630) and create a new proposal.
- On (APS200/B), select the option to change the invoice.
- In 'Acc Payable. Change Sep Invoice' (APS201/E), change any of these values: Due date, authorizer, future rate agreement, payment method, payment stop, stop date, stopped by, bank account, cash discount terms, cash discount base, cash discount percentages, parallel invoice number (for invoices with payment class 3 or 5), trade code, and bank operation. Press Enter.
- Start (APS630) and create a new proposal.
Change the basic data for the proposal
If you change the bank or payment method to the whole proposal, the included invoices are automatically removed and added to a new corresponding proposal when returning to (APS630/B). This is because a proposal is created for the combination of bank, payment method, and currency.
Select one of the alternatives.
- On (APS630/B), select option 11='Change bank' for the proposal.
- On (APS630/K), specify a new bank account and press Enter to return.
You cannot change the bank account if you opted to use bank quotas when creating the proposal.
Trade code break levels are considered if used in the proposal. When a payment proposal is changed, other fields such as payee, payment date, cash discount, company bank account, and supplier bank account of the invoice are also considered for grouping the invoices per payment document. For example, when you change the payment method through the company bank in the related options of (APS630), the trade code break level selected in (APS091) is considered. If the combination is not located in (APS091), the system applies the ordinary grouping.
- On (APS630/B), select option 12='Change payment method' for the proposal.
- On the E-panel, specify a new payment method and press Enter to return.
If the previous payment method has a grouped payment code 2, you can only change to a payment method with the same code.
If used by the invoices included in the proposal, parallel invoice numbers are also considered.
If the new payment method has a payment class other than 3 or 5, the parallel invoice number is removed.
Trade code break level is considered if used in the proposal. When a payment proposal is changed, other fields such as payee, payment date, cash discount, company bank account, and supplier bank account of the invoice are also considered for grouping the invoices per payment document. For example, when you change the payment method through the company bank in the related options in (APS630), the trade code break level selected in (APS091) is considered. If the combination is not located in (APS091), the system applies the ordinary grouping.
Change the separate records in the proposal
- Select the option to change the proposal on (APS630/B).
- On 'Supplier Payment Proposal. Update Details' (APS631/B), select one of these sorting orders: 1='Amount due', 2='Cash discount date', or 3='Supplier'.
Select one of the alternatives.
- On (APS631/B), select the option to change the payment record.
- On (APS631/E), change any of these values if necessary: Payment date, payment method, supplier bank account, amount due, gross amount due, cash discount amount, cash discount date, payment block code, parallel invoice number, for invoices with payment class 3 or 5, and trade code. Press Enter.
You can change the payment date if the payment method used has the group payment code 0 or 1.
If the previous payment method has group payment code 2, you can only change to a payment method with the same code. If you change the payment method and bank, the invoice is automatically included in a new proposal when returning to (APS630/B).
If used by the invoices included in the proposal, parallel invoice numbers are also considered.
You can change or delete the parallel invoice number. If the payment method has a payment class other than 3 or 5, the parallel invoice number is removed.
The trade code break level is considered in the proposal if the combination of payment method and bank account ID of the proposal is defined in (APS091). If not, ordinary grouping of invoices is used. When a payment proposal is changed, other fields such as payee, payment date, cash discount, company bank account, and supplier bank account of the invoice are also considered for grouping the invoices per payment document. For example, when changing the payment method, payment date, and supplier bank directly on the (APS631/E) panel where you can also change the trade code, the trade code break level selected in (APS091) is considered. If the combination is not located in (APS091), the system applies the ordinary grouping.
If you reduce the amount to pay, that means you only make a partial payment.
Ensure that the current date or a later date is set as the new cash discount date. You can add a cash discount even if the original invoice does not include any connected cash discount terms.
- On (APS631/H), add up to five lines of internal comments if required. Press Enter.
This text is only saved in the proposal file and is not printed on the final payment document. If an external text is specified for the invoice on (APS201/T), this text is automatically displayed.
If a parallel invoice number is used, you can change it on (APS631/H). If a check digit method is defined for this payment method and the country of the payee in 'Additional Payment Reference for AP. Open' (CMS091), an input control of the check digit is carried out. If the check digit is invalid, a warning message is displayed. The check digit method is used when calculating and controlling the check digit in a parallel invoice number.
Optionally, if an alternative check digit method is specified, this method is used as the input control of the parallel invoice numbers. The alternative check digit method is used if the check digit is not valid for the first specified check digit method. If the check digit is incorrect, a warning message is displayed.
If the check digit is correct when using the first check digit method, no controls are applied. But if the check digit is incorrect and an alternative check digit method is specified, this check digit method is used instead for controlling the check digit.
If the check digit is incorrect for both the check digit methods, the check digit is invalid and a warning message is displayed.
Numeric values must be used to calculate and control the check digit. If the parallel invoice number is blank, no input control is done. If the check digit method is blank in (CMS091), no input control is done.
If no rule is found in (CMS091) for the payment method and the country of the payee during the input control of a parallel invoice number, an alternative approach is used. However, if there is a rule for this payment method and the payee country is blank or serves as a catch all, this method is applied instead.
The input control is only done for invoices with AP payment methods that have payment class 3='Bank transfer' and 5='Direct debiting'.

to select new invoices.
- On (APS200/B), select the invoices to include with the option, and then close.
The invoices are included in the proposal. The payment method of the original invoice is automatically changed to the payment method of the proposal. If the proposal payment method is used for bank transfer with transfer method 3, there is an automatic checking of the validity of the bank information for the selected invoices.
The trade code break level is considered in the proposal if the combination of payment method and bank account ID of the proposal is defined in (APS091). If not, ordinary grouping of invoices is used.
- Press F3 to return to (APS630/B).
Viewing additional information about the invoice
- On the (APS630/B) panel, select the option to change the proposal.
- On the (APS631/B) panel, select the related option 21='Additional info' to display invoice additional info in 'Suppl Invoice. Display Additional Info' (APS216) for supplier invoices and 'Customer Invoice. Display Add Info' (ARS216) for customer invoices.
Create a preview of simulated the payment documents and account entries
- On (APS630/B), select the option 'Preliminary/copy' for the proposal with status 1.
Using option 6='Preliminary/copy', you can print a copy of the payment proposal for both statuses 1 and 9.Note: (APS630) keeps track of whether or not the payment proposal is confirmed when running the preliminary copy. This is done in the field action which you can add to the view.These are the statuses available in the action field:
- 8: Preliminary or copy is done on a payment proposal in status 1.
- 9: The payment proposal is confirmed.
- 18: Preliminary or copy is done on a payment proposal in status 9.
The action status in (APS630) is used with the copy parameter in (CRS949), accessed from (CRS945), when deciding if an event trigger should be created in the event hub:- Copy parameter is set to 0 in (CRS949): Only the confirm option in (APS630) creates a trigger in the event hub.
- Copy parameter is set to 1 in (CRS949): Only the preliminary or copy option in (APS630) creates a trigger in the event hub for both payment proposals in status 1 and 9.
- Copy parameter is set to 2 in (CRS949): Both the preliminary or copy, and confirm in (APS630) creates a trigger in event hub. Preliminary or confirm creates a trigger for both payment proposals in status 1 and 9.
- Follow the same steps for creating payment documents depending on the payment method.
The same documents and accounting journals are printed are printed similar to when the proposal is confirmed, but the financial system is not updated.
