Certain system functions allow you to use this code to select the group for processing, for example Payment Run. Credit LimitThis is for information only and is not used in any calculations. Credit Check Warning LimitThis is for information only and is not used in any calculations. Overdue Invoice LimitThis is for information only and is not used in any calculations. Payment MethodThe method used to pay this supplier. The following methods are available: - Cheque Payment - the supplier is paid by cheque.
- Bank Payment - the supplier account is settled using the automatic bank payment method, for example by direct debit or BACS. If this option is chosen, the supplier's bank details must be defined using Bank Details Setup (BDS). This option can only be selected if the automatic bank payments facility has been selected in Ledger Setup (LS).
- Single Payment - a single payment is required for a one-off supplier.
- Undefined - an alternative method of payment is used for the supplier, for example a manual cheque is written.

This is required if the account is to be settled by bank transfer, and the supplier has more than one bank account defined. Payment Terms Group CodeThe payment terms agreed with the supplier which must have been defined previously. The payment terms are defined using Payment Terms Setup ( PYTRMS). They determine when a transaction is due for payment, whether any settlement discounts apply and can calculate other selected payment dates and charges.

Immediate SettlementThis option must be selected if the account is always to be settled in the next Payment Run. This means the due date is ignored. Leave this blank if you wish to include a transaction in a Payment Run when the transaction is due for settlement, according to the terms identified in the payment terms. |
