Payment reference for payment to vendor bank account (Generating payments from AP payment journal)

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by syed baber 11,633

Hi All,

I want to know which field we should used to specify the reference for the payment made to the vendor bank account in AX. I can see Ledgerjournaltrans.paymReference field on AP payment journal under Bank tab, but I am not sure if it is the correct field to use for this purpose.

Can anyone please confirm which field should I use to specify payment reference?

Thanks.

    Hi Baber,

    Usually the field you mentioned is used for the payment reference in the file formats. So you are correct. This is the field to use.

    This field is filled when you settle invoices on the journal or when you create the proposal. The payment reference field on the vendor transaction is used as base.

    Thanks Andre. After generating payments, the field paymReference is getting populated with bank cheque number. I found the following code written in processChequeNum method:

    ledgerJournalTrans.paymReference = bankchequeNum.

    So I was wondering that I cannot use this field.

    Your thoughts?

    Hi Baber,

    I was confused about the correct field. There is a field called Note (PaymentNotes) on the Payment tab. This field is normally used for the payment files.

    Hi Andre,

    One of our consultant proposed to add a new field on Bank accounts table, which can be used for payment reference when making payments to a Bank. Because there is no field in standard AX to use for this purpose.

    Thanks,

    Baber.

    Hi Baber,

    If you are now talking about a field on te Bank account table, I think I don't understand your question anymore. Then please explain your question in detail and why it should be a field on the bank account table. Are you then talking about a company bank account or a vendor bank account table?

    Hello guys,
     
    I am using the same Payment reference field to update in vendor transactions after creating invoice, but as soon as i reverse the payment check the initial payment Payment Reference field gets cleared out in vendor transaction form.
     
    Anyone have any idea why it is please let me know.
     
    Thanks in Advance!!
