automation of payment of bills in Business Central

Hi I know we can automate payment of AP bill in Business Central by going to PAYMENT METHODS and specifying the balancing account to be the bank account you want it to be.  When you post the invoice, the payment against that invoice is also posted at the same time.  The issue I have is how do we make the date on the payment journal to be DIFFERENT from the invoice date?

    As Josh says. Simply by using the payment method with a balance account this is not possible.

    So Power Automate or customization are your options i think.

    With the existing setup I expect that a modification is needed. You could opt for a different approach. Still using a specific payment method as a filter - but take out the balancing account. Use this standard workflow: FAA98C67_2D00_485B_2D00_4B30_2D00_A5A7_2D00_E60C5B0B350D.jpeg

    You could then set the posting date as you wish and post manually. You could layer further automation into my suggestion if you use power automate

    Hi,

    You can calculate the date by using Payment Terms date.
