Unwanted vendor settlement transactions

Posted on by Community Member

We are experiencing some strange vendor transactions that I am not able to explain. They are vendor transactions (VendTrans) that have the transaction type of “Settlement”. They seem to debit and credit the same account and net each other out but they are very confusing for our client and I do not know why they are created at all. They seem to appear when you do a vendor payment proposal > Produce a payment and post the payments for several vendors. I tried to isolate this and re-create it for a single vendor but I was unable to do so. If anyone could please give me some insight into 1) What they are for and why they are created? 2) How do we get them to stop being created?

Hi, What AX2012 version do you run? Are you aware of any system modification that has been implemented that triggers those Transactions? Can you show us the voucher of one of those settlements e.g. for voucher no. ...98? Ludwig

We are running AX 2012 CU10. The voucher is below. We have not implemented any customization that would trigger this. I have also seen this in a vanilla environment. Thanks in advance!

Hi, Did you activate the "balanced financial dimension" parameter in GL for one of your financial dimensions? Ludwig

No, that checkbox is unchecked for all of our financial dimensions. Should this be checked?

Hi, I would not check this Checkbox but was wondering whether this one triggered the issue. Another thing that you could check is whether or not the "automatic settlement" parameter in AP-parameter-settlement is activated as its activation might be responsible for the behavior you see. If you also did not activate this one, probably have a look at LifeCycle services for a possible hotfix. Best regards, Ludwig

Hi,

This has been an issue in all my implementation, however I just managed to explain to the customer that this is just an offsetting transactions for the different dimensions selected on the invoice and the payment.

If you find any hotfix please let me know.

Use default financial dimensions on the vendor control account to avoid using a different set of dimensions for the invoice and the payment.

This is quite normal for ax it happens during settlement if the financial dimension used during booking of invoice was different from the payment.

Just explain it to the customer. No issue here. If you match the financial dimensions then no posting is made during settlement.
