When is a scheduled payments split invoked?

The split is only invoked in Ledger Entry (LEN) and Ledger Import (LIM) under specific circumstances:

• The Journal Type used must be one which allows scheduled payments. To configure this, you must set the Allow Scheduled Payments option in Journal Type (JNT).
• The account must be a debtor, creditor, or client account type.
• The Customer or Supplier record must have a Payment Terms Code attached which in turn has the required Payment Schedule Code attached.

In Ledger Entry, when you complete the journal line to the customer or supplier account, providing the above conditions are met, the instalment lines are generated in the Ledger Entry form.

Journal line numbering is treated similarly to automatically generated tax. For example, assuming the original transaction has journal line number 1.0, the split lines are numbered 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and so on. If the original transaction is preserved (by setting the Preserve original line value in Ledger Setup), then journal line 1.0 is preserved, a reversal is created in 1.1, and the split instalment lines start from 1.2. If, on the other hand, the original transaction is overwritten, line number 1.0 ceases to exist and the instalment line numbers start from 1.1.
