Posted on by 76
Hi,
We are Business central!
there was a vendor payment made and applied to an invoice. But the docuemtn type is BLANK instead of payment when i checked in the Vendor ledger entries. These payments hence are not identified and not getting reported in 1099 information.
is there a way where i can update the BANL as 'PAYMENT' .
 
thanks 
Vijaya

    You can reverse the payment and create it again but this time select the document type as payment.

    At the time of Payment journal you have to specify the Document Type.
    If you will specify then it will come
     
     
    In my case, the payment type will come automatically when i open the Payment Journal.
    This is what is coming in the BC

    I just checked, and by default, it is set to Payment. However, you need to select the appropriate document type based on the requirement, and it will reflect correctly once posted.

    Hello,
     
    As mentioned by Valentin, you will need to reverse and post a new payment with the correct document type or you could get the partner to patch it.

    Thank you for all your replies.
     
    1. User has not picked the document type, thats the issue. Hence wanted a way out to populate document type -Payment on those postd entries.
     
    2. Not all wil have access or capacity to use AL. Hence wanted to check if there could be any other easier way to just update the document type as payment. 
     
    3.  Thank you ZHU for your links, but it too techincally invasive for users to deploy tht solution, SHould you have any earier and front end method/ tool to update the document type, I will appreciate it.
     
    4. I donot want to unapply, cancel and recreate a payment docu and identify doc type , reapply , reconcile and post . This method is OK for 1 or 2 docuemnts. but for multiple entries might not be possible as this can un necessarily cause extra work and re auditing n stuff.
     
    thanks all once again!!

    Hi,

    You can use this data editor tool to update the missing document type.
