Consolidation - Creditor / Client Analysis Codes

The Payment Run Consolidation form lists the analysis dimensions assigned to the ledger. You can use this form to split the payment transaction for the payables/creditor account according to the analysis codes on the original transactions, or to apply new analysis to the payment transactions.

Leave all of the analysis dimensions blank if you want to generate and post a single consolidated payment transaction to each payables/creditor account for the total amount paid to the creditor. This is the default option.

Enter '..' against an analysis dimension to generate payment transactions with the same analysis codes (for that dimension) as the original transactions being paid. This means that there could be several payment transactions generated for a given creditor, if the original transactions in the creditor account contain various different analysis codes for a dimension. These analysis codes are also automatically entered on the corresponding bank account transactions, providing you are not using the Single Transaction to Payment Account option (described above).

Alternatively, you can enter a specific analysis code for a dimension in order to set that code on the generated payment transactions.

If a principal to principal hierarchy has been defined on the transactions select this option to consolidate the transactions at each level of the hierarchy. See 'Using the Hierarchy to Produce Consolidated Payments'.
