Result
On the basis of the postings in the payment document, the system tries to determine the payee and the house bank to which the check should be issued. To do this, it refers to the values defined for the payment program in the system configuration. You are required to make further entries in the following cases:
- If there is more than one possible payee. This may be the case if you are paying the invoices of more than one vendor at a time, or if there is an alternative payee specified in the master records of a particular vendor. If this is so, the system requires you to select the payee in a dialog box.
- If the system was not able to determine the house bank from the postings in the document, a dialog box is displayed where you are asked to select a house bank.
- If you want to print a check for a payment document that was created by the payment program, other entries are required if you are working with prenumbered checks: In a dialog box, you have to specify whether the system should use the same check number that the payment program suggested or whether a new check form is necessary.
