Compiere provides for the processing of payments for Vendor invoices either in batch or via a manual selection process.
Selecting invoices using batch-based criteria is done through the Payment Selection window. Enter a name and bank account for the batch, and then create payment selection lines as follows:
- Invoices for Payment Selection Lines are created in batch by clicking on the Create From button selection criteria:
- If the user clicks on the Prepare Payment button, the Compiere system summarizes the invoices for payment into Payments to be generated. This is seen through the Prepared Payments tab. Herewith two payments are thus created:
Finally, to print the payments and remittance advice, select the payment batch through the Payment Print/Export menu item and window:
The Payment print would produce the following payment document (which can be formatted for a check layout or payment list):
The manual selection of invoices for payment is handled through the Payment Selection (Manual) menu item and window. Select your Bank Account and Business Partner, and the system will display the invoices due for payment by clicking on the Search button:
In the above window, the user selects the invoices due for payment, and then clicks the Process button, from where the process for printing the payments and remittance advices as described above is started.
In both batch selection and manual processing of the invoice, generated payments are automatically allocated for open item management purposes. This process is covered in more detail in Chapter 6, Compiere Financial Management.
