Customer and vendor payments
This function enables the association of received or effected payments with receivables or payables. In other words, it allows the association of the effected cash-bank transactions with planned payments which are the receivables and payables.
Documents can be paid from the two levels separately (both from the level of an uncompleted payment registered in the list of receivables and payables and from the level of an uncompleted transaction).
Entities’ payments can be completed from two levels: Customer Payments and Vendor Payments.
The list of customer payments is used for combining payments–receivables with transactions of entities who are only the receivers or both the receivers and vendors. The list of vendor payments is used for combining payments–payables with transactions of entities who are only the vendors or both the vendors and receivers.
Both lists are available in the Finance menu under Customer Payments and Vendor Payments.
Because the method of completing payments is the same for customers and vendors, this functionality will be presented on the example of customer payments.
