Creating payment suggestion with invoices

Follow this procedure to select payment requests and create a new payment suggestion.

Before you begin

The procedure assumes you are using the standard Visma Business window layouts. If you are not using these layouts, you can access the necessary menu choices and fields from the following tables:

Procedure

  1. ChooseAccouting/Settlement, and select the tab Betalinger kunde.
  2. Select the payment requests that you wish to include:
    Option Description
    All Highlight all rows
    Some invoices highlight relevant rows
  3. On the Home tab, in the Processing group, click Create payment suggestion.
  4. Specify various parameters in the Create payment suggestion dialog box.
    Option Description
    Up-to-date per date The current date, plus any days entered in the Payment suggestion days in the Company information table, is suggested. All selected entries with a planned payment date up to and including this date will be included in the payment suggestion. If the Due date field is empty, Visma Business uses the current date as the due date.
    Transmission date The current date is suggested. The date on which you are planning to send the payments to the bank to be debited. You will not be able to enter a later date than the Up-to-date per date.
    Max amount The maximum total amount for all payments. If you specify a maximum amount (in default currency), open entries are selected so the total of the payments does not exceed this amount. A subsequent sorting of the customer entries will then determine who receives payment.
    Payment number If you are working with a new payment suggestion, select "New payment suggestion" from the drop-down list. The list displays "New payment suggestion" by default. However, if you want to add new entries to an existing payment suggestion, select the payment number for this suggestion from the drop-down list. The available payment suggestions are named like this:
    [Payment no.] – [Bank partner no.] [Description] [Created by user] [Estimated transf. date]

    Only payments with the value 1 - Estimate in the Payment status field in the Payment table appear in the drop-down list. It is only possible to use one bank partner per payment.

    When you select a payment number, the Bank partner field is filled in, and you cannot make any changes in this field. Nor can you change the Use bank partner from supplier (customer) and Generate payment only for selected bank partner fields.

    If both Use bank partner from supplier (customer) and Generate payment only for selected bank partner are selected, these selections are retained and reference is made to them during the suggestion. If only the Use bank partner from supplier (customer) field is selected, this selection is removed.

    Bank partner This is used to select the bank partner to which you want to send the entries. If you only have one bank partner, this is suggested.
    Use bank partner from supplier (customer) If you have selected this field, Visma Business selects a bank partner from the customer in the Associate table when creating a payment suggestion.
    Generate payment only for selected bank partner If selected will customers with the same bank partner number as the one selected in the Bank partner field, as well as customers who are not registered to a specific bank partner, be included in the payment suggestion.
    Ignore cash due date Not applicable for payment suggestions for customers.
    Upload payment suggestions automatically The payment suggestion will automatically be sent to the EFT system.
  5. Enter the desired due date in the fieldUp-to-date per.
    Note: Payment requests up to and including the due date will be included.
  6. If you wish to mark the payment requests with a date internally in Visma Business, enter a date in the field Transmission.

  7. If you want to add payment requests an existing suggestion, then select the relevant suggestion on the list in the field Payment Number.
  8. Choose a bank in the field Bank partner.
  9. If you have registered bank partners for suppliers and wish to use these, tick the box Use bank partner from supplier(customer).
  10. If you only wish to include the payment requests for customers who are registered with bank partners you have chosen in the fieldBank partner, Then tick the box Generate payment only for selected bank partner.

    • Payment requests for customers do not have a specific registered bank partner will not be included in the payment suggestion.
    • Payment requests for customers who are registered with another bank partner will not be included in the payment suggestion.
