Posted on by 102

Dear Experts,

I want to understand what is the functionality of "Mark as primary payment" in settle transactions page in All vendors form?

I have gone through below explanation by Microsoft but sorry to say, do not understand properly.

Thanks.

    Hello Anirban Basu,

    You can test like this if any confusion in understanding the process in system! This is quite straight forward approach.

    --- Mark the invoice line which you want to settle. Set the Mark check box enabled which you highlighted in your screenshot.

    --- Mark 2-3 payment lines also to settle against that invoice line which you marked.

    --- Select one payment line as Mark as primary payment.

    Example;

    Invoice line = 1000.00

    1st pay line = 500.00
    2nd pay line = 700.00

    Therefore; you are now trying to settle total amount of (500.00 + 700.00) = 1200.00

    Now select 2nd pay line of 700.00 and set it as "Mark as primary payment".

    Once you click on Post, system will do the following.

    --- The 2nd pay line will settle fully with 700.00

    --- The 1st pay line will settle with rest of the amount (1000.00 - 700.00) = 300.00

    --- Next; the 1st pay line will carry the balance of (500.00 - 300.00) = 200.00 and it will be showing as open record for future settlement.

    If the explanation helps, kindly provide feedback.

    Best regards,
    Sourav Dam

    Hi Anirban,

    I don't have an example prepared. However, if you are going to settle multiple payments to one or multiple invoices, each payment has a certain transaction date. You can then choose to mark one of the payments as primary. The result will be that this one is used to determine the date for calculations on a possible exchange result or cash discount. If there is no primary payment, it will do it per transaction. If you have e.g. one invoice with an amount of 1000 where there are two payments: 900 and 50, then you can manage which one will be used to check if the the cash discount could be subtracted from this invoice.

    Hi Andre,

    Thank you for the response.

    I have already gone through this and posted the screenshot also as you can check in my 1st post.

    On this point, I want to see the application in system and how it works!

    I have selected it in settle transactions page in all vendors form but after that need to know - how it can be applied and where we can apply in system?

    Thanks.

    Hi Anirban,

    The purpose of the primary payment option is mentioned in the documentation (point 5): docs.microsoft.com/.../settle-transactions-with-payments
