Suggest Vendor Payments EB Batch Job
Processes open vendor ledger entries and creates a payment suggestion as lines in a payment journal. Open vendor ledger entries result from posting invoices and finance charge memos.
Only the ledger entries of vendors in which the Suggest Payments field of the Vendor Card window is selected, are included in the batch job. The suggestions are registered in a payment journal. You must specify a last payment date that will be used in the batch job.
In addition, only vendor entries that are not marked as On Hold in the Vendor Ledger Entries window are included in the batch job. You can also run the batch job so that it also includes payments for which you can obtain a discount.
When you enter an available amount, the vendors will be ordered by Priority.
You can define what is included in the report by setting filters. To set additional fields on the tab, choose the field.
