The payment program identifies the open payment requests and selects the items to be paid. It basically pays items as late as possible. You specify the exact time of payment when configuring the payment program.

The selection of open payment requests is determined by the following factors:

• The due date of the items is basically determined by the due date and the level of urgency indicator in the payment request
• For each payment run, you specify the date of the next payment run. The program uses this date to determine whether an item is to be included in the current or the next payment run.
