Criteria for payments

Basic conditions

To start printing reminders or an open entries list with payment suggestions, the following requirements must be met:

• The country, language and currency fields must be filled in the Bedriftsopplysninger, and the corresponding rows must be present in the tables below it.
• The payment series must be defined in the Bedriftsopplysninger table.
• Visma Business retrieves the bank account number to be debited during payment creation from (in order of priority):
  1. The account number of the open entry to be remitted
  2. The account number in the Valuta table for the currency of the open entry
  3. The account number in the Bedriftsopplysninger table

Conditions for issuing payments to a supplier

To issue payments to a supplier, the following requirements must be met:

• Suppliers that are also set up as customers must not have their credit suspended in the Aktør table. If the supplier is also a customer, a supplier number and a customer number are entered in the Aktør table.
• All the giros must have the correct sign (depending on the number of transactions per giro). Visma Business lists all open entries on the giro. If any payments have not been matched with the invoices, there is a risk that the payment amount on the giro will be greater than the invoice amounts. If that is the case, the giro amount will be negative. Such giros are not printed. The number of transactions per giro depends on the height of the slip, the top and bottom margins and the font size used
• The payment is interrupted before the supplier if a total maximum amount is defined and exceeded.

You can further restrict the range of suppliers by selecting or highlighting which supplier rows you want to include in the payment routine. Suppliers might be selected on the basis of priority, control status, currency or payment method. If none of the rows are highlighted, all the suppliers in the Associates window are included.

Conditions for creating a payment in respect of an entry

To create a payment in respect of a supplier entry, the following requirements must be met:

• The entry must satisfy any selection criteria imposed for the printout. You can restrict which entries you wish to pay by selecting on the basis of one or more columns in the Open supplier entries page element.
• The entry must not already have been paid, and the Remittert field in the Åpen leverandørpost table must not have been checked manually.
• The estimated payment date, which corresponds to the due date provided you have not changed it in the Åpen leverandørpost table, must be less than or equal to the Up-to-date from date defined for the printout.
• If you did not enter the due date during voucher entry, Visma Business will calculate it from the voucher date and the supplier's payment terms, possibly 30 days net if the payment terms are not specified for the supplier in the Aktør table. If the value date field is blank, Visma Business sets it equal to the value date of the batch. You can override the due date in the Åpen leverandørpost table.
