Centralized Payment - Hierarchy

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I have set up centralized payment in AX (version: CU3) where A pays the invoices for B and C. However, when creating a payment journal in B I can see the invoice for C. In the hierarchy both B and C are under A. How is that I can see C invoices in B and vice versa?

My expectation was that I should see B and C invoices in A only for payment purposes.

RE: Centralized Payment - Hierarchy

Hi,

Here some comments:

1. My understanding was that because company C is not under company B, the invoices should be only visible in company A.

In AX you cannot only make intercompany payments that debit one company and credit another company but also payments in other companies.

That is, if you are in company C you can make a payment that debits a vendor and a bank account in company B.

That is why you see those invoices in the settlement form even though it might be confusing for you.

I can see the same in my demo environment.

2. Please also note that for some reason the payment proposal for managing the centralized payments in our version is very slow. it takes more than one hour to create the list and our only option is settlement form for now

Is this because you have so many open invoices and the form needs long to load or because of some system modifications that have been made.

Can you have a developer taking a look at that because 1 hr is really a long time?

Best regards,

Ludwig

RE: Centralized Payment - Hierarchy

Hi Ludwig,

I did not do anything in company B. Please see screenshots attached. The first one shows the hierarchy:

1- DELTERA INC. (PRE... is company A (company code DPRE) and is supposed to do the payments on behalf of companies B and C.

2- DELTERA INC.... is company B (COMPANY code BAY4) ans is setup under company A in the hierarchy.

3- AQUAVISTA B... is company C (COMPANY code AQUV) and is setup under company A in the hierarchy.

In the second screenshot you can see that when a user creates a payment journal in company B and navigates to functions-->Settlements company C invoices are listed and user can select them.

My understanding was that because company C is not under company B, the invoices should be only visible in company A.

Please note that user cannot complete the payment in company B as there is no inter-company setup between B and C. I just wonder why the invoices are visible in company B and it is confusing for our users.

Please also note that for some reason the payment proposal for managing the centralized payments in our version is very slow. it takes more than one hour to create the list and our only option is settlement form for now.

Hi Amirreza,

What did you do in company B to see the invoices of company C?

Have you created a payment proposal?

Can you possibly share some supporting screenshots?

Best regards,

Ludwig
