Difference in the use of "Create Payment" and "Suggest Vendor Payments" for the processing of vendor invoices

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 390

Hello All,

On the home page, there is an "outstanding vendor invoices" link.  The link opens a window with all the outstanding payments.  From there we can choose Actions and then Create Payments.  After confirming the batch type and payment type, the vendor invoices populate the payment journal.

In the Payment Journal, we go to Process and then Suggest Vendor Payments...  Both options populate the payment journal.

Does anyone know what are best practices?  or Pros and Cons in the use of these two options...

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

    Create Payment : you select what you pay and create journal

    Suggest Vendor Payments : BC gives you suggestion what to pay

    It really depends on the requirement and preferences. I would say Create Payment is simpler. Suggest has more options and you can summarize as well.
