Payment Proposal for 1 Vendor, w/ invoices in multiple companies

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I am working with a test example for creating a Payment Proposal within standard AX (AX 2012 R3, cumulative update 8).

Is there a means of combining payment proposal lines where 1 party (Vendor in this case) has 2 payment transactions, each transaction in a different company?

Currently, when selecting the "Include Vendor Invoices from other Legal Entities" parameter, I render 2 payment proposal lines based on the 2 Vendor Open Transaction that exists for the Vendor.

The method of payments, for both transactions being used, is also set to Total as well for its PaymSumBy field (labeled Period), in both companies.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your assistance

    Hi,

    If you have payment transactions from different companies you need to post intercompany postings and have thus to specify for which company/vendor a payment needs to be made. That is why you cannot combine all payments in a single line.

    Does that make sense to you?

    Why is it a problem if you have more than a single payment line in your journal?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Thanks Ludwig for your response, I appreciate it

    My mistake if the original post seemed like it was an issue having more than 1 line.

    Per conversation w/ an end user, I was attempting to understand what was done out-of-the box vs having to mod for it (not favored since I think it would cause balancing issues upon posting).

    For my further understanding, if my Vendor party is like the following...

    Same vendor across companies linked by the global address book

    Vendor Party: 5637146982, AccountNum: APVA-1, Company: A Transaction Amount $100, Method of Payment in company A: Ultimate (Period set to Total)

    Vendor Party: 5637146982, AccountNum: APVA-2, Company: B Transaction Amount $50, Method of Payment in company B: Ultimate (Period set to Total)

    Since we are dealing w/ 2 open vendor transactions across 2 companies, rolling them into 1 payment proposal line is not feasible.

    I did a search of your mentioning of intercompany postings and came across the following link.

    Halfway down the page, there is mentioning of the following: "Same scenario, same facts.  In this scenario, however, Centralized Payments has been set up, AND the Property Management vendor account in all the legal entities have been linked in the Global Address Book.  The vendor account numbers do not need to be the same, but they must be linked. "

    Based on this link, 1 key point that was mentioned was the following: "Consistent Methods of Payment IDs.  Same as Currency Codes and Posting Profile IDs – all the Centralized Payment companies must use the same Method of Payment ID.   Also, make sure that all the instances of a vendor which you will be paying via Centralized Payments have the same Method of Payment, regardless of the legal entity."

    From all of this I gathered, thanks to your mentioning, it seems like Centralized Payments is the best route for this.

    If so, please advise and also, if so, is using Payment Proposal still an option (2nd link doesn't mention if so or not).

    Thanks in advance
