Maintain Payment Program Parameters

Use

You need to identify a payment run with a name. Then you have to determine the company codes and vendors for which you want to trigger the payment program. The date of the next payment run is also important for deciding whether to pay with cash discount or to pay net. Once this has been done, a payment proposal list can be automatically generated according to the terms of payment in the documents.
