Payment where account type is g\l code

What is the best way to generate payment file from Business Central where Account Type is G\L code (no vendor's account)?

    AnabelDyn - If I follow you correctly, you would like to generate a payment file to pay someone and apply to a G/L Account. Now this sounds like you DO NOT have a Vendor to apply the payment too so you just want to cut a payment off the Bank Account and offset to a G/L Account (Balancing Account). This is easy if I am following you correctly. Do this:

    1. On the Payment Journal, the 1st Account Type = G/L Account and No. can be whatever G/L Account you want to apply this payment too

    2. Balancing Acct Type = Bank Account and No. the Bank the funds have been disbursed from

    3. Document No., if you allow manual Document No. entry, can be the manual Check you just cut/disbursed

    4. Description = I would enter a good description WHO and What you are paying

    5. Bank Payment Type = Manual

    Hope this helps but if this is not what you are trying to accomplish, please write back.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Hi Steven

    Thank you.

    What you describes will record the payment in the ledger and the cash book. It will not, however, generate an export file for the bank.

    In NAV / BC standard you need to have a companies bank and a vendor or employee (for outgoing payments - credit transfer) or a customer (for customer direct debit).

    Thank you.

    Are there any partner products available with the UK environment?

    AnabelDyn,

    Sorry I did not know you wanted an Electronic Payment File (EFT) to be produced. I do not know of a way to generate the EFT without a Vendor or Customer Bank Account setup to pull in the EFT Banking information. Where will you send the money without receiving Bank Information?

    Thanks,

    Steve
