AP Build Payment Batch Includes Vendors and Invoices that do not meet the criteria

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I am working with client and we are having issues with Build Payment Batch, selecting vendors that shouldn't be paid.  We have unmarked the AP setup "Exclude Expired Discounts from Payments" option, since when this was marked and if you miss the discount date the vendor and voucher never pull into the process causing vendors to not be paid, unless you know to manually go add.

The criteria we entered was Due Date/Discount Date Cutoff

Due Date Cutoff = 10/31/2020

Discount Date Cutoff = 10/31/2020

Apply Date = 10/26/2020

Using the above criteria when the batch was built:

Vendor 1 Invoice:   discount date 10/9/2020, due date 11/8/2020, it didn't take the discount which is correct but why did it pull in the invoice to be paid

Vendor 2 Invoice:  discount date 10/17/2020, due date 11/6/2020 - same issue as above

I have always looked at the apply  date to  give you a range of what discounts you want to take.  So in my example above if the discount date is from 10/26 - 10/31 the invoice will be pulled in to be paid taking the discount. 

What am I missing here.

    Andrea,

    The version of GP is 18.2.1060 (2019).   Unfortunately it is hard to tell when was the last time past due invoices were not include since this client has recently gone through some turn over and the AP department is all new.

    Hi Bonomoka,

    Can you verify your exact version of GP for me? When did you first notice this behavior? When was the last time invoices 'past' the due date weren't included incorrectly for you?

    Hi Andrea,

    Thanks for the information.    The client does create and save the batch first before entering the due date restrictions.  They open the Build Payment Batch window, enter a Batch ID, click "Add" enters information needed in the batch window and saves the batch.  So I do not believe the below is our issue. Any other thoughts?

    Hi Bonomoka,

    I think you ‘may’ be running into known Quality Issue 71048, “Due date cutoff not working in select checks when the restriction is added prior to a batch ID”.

    Essentially, when you enter the due date restriction ‘prior’ to entering/saving the batch id – the due date selection doesn’t always work and invoices that you wouldn’t expect to be included in the build – are.

    Until this is fixed, the workaround for this is to add/save the Batch ID to be used for the payables check batch prior to entering the due date restriction in the Build Payment Batch window.

    I hope this helps!
