Settlement voucher with status non being posted in AP

I have created an AP invoice. While paying the invoice, I am getting 3 different vouchers - one for the invoice, one for the payment and one for the vendor settlement. I really did not understand the requirement for the vendor settlement transactions. No automatic settlement is marked either in AP parameters or in posting profile. I am using single posting profile. I tested the same thing in USMF and it creates just 2 vouchers - one for invoice and one for the payment. I am not sure why my environment is creating 3 vouchers and what is this settlement transaction for?

I think it is a setup issue but not able to figure out, please help.

USMF data (plain and simple):

My environment one invoice posting and payment:

Details of the extra lines generated

Settlement voucher with status non being posted in AP

Hi all,

I know its been a while since the last post and thought I should share the cause of this behavior. When you consolidate invoice for more than one PO type i.e. non project PO and project PO, these extra settlement postings are created as bridging posting between the 2 types. Remember the POs go through different posting profiles 1) inventory posting and 2) project posting. Hope that helps.

Hello Kumar,

Can you share screenprints of the different posting profiles that you use?

Many thanks,

Marking the detail or detail at the journal name does not solve the problem. In the payment voucher it only shows 2 lines while at the vendor level (while looking into the vendor transaction window, it is still creating 2 transactions which is ridiculous and frustrating).

Hi Kumar,

Can you check if the setting 'Detail level' on the journal name is set to 'Details'? If so, try to change this to 'Summary'.

Posting profile - I noticed whether you mark automatic settlement on posting profile yes or no, it has no effect on the voucher I.e. it still creates two lines.

Terms of payment has no discount associated with it.

Hi,

Can you check and compare the following setups in your system and USMF:

a) Vendor posting profile: Whether the 'automatic settlement' parameter is turned on?

b) What terms of payment has been used in your environment compared to the one that you used in your tests in USMF

Can you also let us know whether an open payment transaction was selected for settlement in the purchase order?

Many thanks,

Ludwig

In total, the payment is creating these 4 lines:

The only difference I noticed in USMF (where it is not creating 4 lines) and my company is this field under settlement tab on the payment is marked yes in USMF and not marked in my company

My simple question is - what is prompting these vendor settlement vouchers and why I have 2 more useless vouchers same number, same amount, same account , same type?

Posting type help provide details on how transactions gets posted, so of you provide that would be very helpful.

I do not think your question is relevant.
