Payment proposal does not produce multiple legal entity payments for centralized payments scenario

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by howalker 1,210

I have set up centralized payments and I'm trying to run a payment proposal to produce payments from multiple legal entities.  I have created and posted two invoices from two vendors in two legal entities (LE).  I have followed Microsoft's documentation to set this up.  The payment proposal does not produce invoice payments from LE #2.  It only gives me payments for LE #1, the LE in which I'm running the payment proposal. 

Facts:

1. Both vendors have the same Party ID

2. Payment methods are the same (check), except one has a bank account assigned to it and the other does not.  Microsoft documentation clearly states that the settings inside the payment methods do not have to be the same.  I have not gone to the trouble of setting up the bank account and related config in LE #2 because of Microsoft's documentation statements, and this is a test system that will be refreshed soon from production. 

3. Both vendors have the same setup

4. On payment proposal selection form:

4A. Payment date range is the entire year 2016

4B. In Centralized Payment section checkbox "Include vendor invoices from other legal entities" is checked

4C. In Centralized Payment section checkbox "Propose separate vendor payment per legal entity" is not checked

4D. When I leave vendor code blank in selection criteria, AX produces only 1 payment.  It's for vendor 6781.  My desired vendor is 2034.  When I enter vendor code 2034 for my vendor, AX produces several eligible payments for that vendor.

4E. Minimum date is blank, but I've used multiple dates such as Oct 1, 2016, Nov 16, Nov 1, and January 1.  This date does not seem to influence anything.

4F. Total payment date is blank. 

4G. Proposal type drop down box is Per Due Date. 

5. In general, AX does see my two invoices.  They are visible when I go to the settlements form.  The invoices are right there, eligible to be settled. 

Any ideas why the payment proposal is not producing my invoice payments for both LE #1 and #2?

    I currently use centralized payments and have a few suggestions for you to review in your setup.

    1.   Make sure that both LE'#1 and LE#2 are within the Centralized Payments heirarchy

    2.   Make sure that you have set up the intercompany accounting and selected the accounts and journal to post on LE#1 and LE#2 in the GL module. 

    3.   On the company that does not have the bank account (LE#2) you need to review the payment method payment control settings in the AP module.  These boxes should be left unchecked.  I had checked the "check number is mandatory" during our recent implementation of a new company and that box was the only issue preventing the invoices from being selected during the payment proposal. 

    Good luck.

    The issue is resolved.  I can't say with certainty, but the due date may have caused the problem.  The two invoices are now populating in to the proposal.  Thank you for your help.

    Hi Howard,

    It should be possible to run one single proposal. Did you setup IC accounting in the ledger setup?

    But first check if the company range is selected correctly. (Payment proposal, Button 'Select', tab Company range)

    Thank you for your reply.  The organizational hierarchy is set up for centralized payments, and all the legal entities for this client are set up, including my #1 and #2 in question.  The invoice dates are Oct 1 and Oct 2, and due dates are Oct 31 and Nov 1, respectively.  Are you saying I will be required to perform multiple payment proposals within one payment journal, where one payment proposal is set to pull only payments from a single legal entity?

    Hi Howard,

    The first question is if the invoices are due to be paid? On the payment proposal you can select to include invoices from other legal entities. For that you also have to select the legal entities on the Company range tab of the 'Select' query.

    This should be filled automatically if you have setup an organization hierarchy for the purpose 'Centralized payments' and your current company is part of this hierarchy.
