DRQ# Payment Wizard Loses Sort Option

Hi,
The sort function in the SAP payment wizard, loses it's settings in Step 6. In Step 3, you can sort the BP name field to sort by alpha, but in Step 6 the sort converts back to numeric, by BP Code. Our client is having problems with this when making their invoice selections in the wizard, as their invoice filing system is alphabetic and they have a large pile to sort through when making payments.
I would have thought the sort option should retain throughout the wizard from Step 3 to Step 6. Additionally it would be nice if in Step 6 there was also the option to sort again if needed.
Thanks,
Lianne

Dear SAP,
Is this question so difficult, nobody can give a response so far??

DRQ : Payment Wizard Recommendation Report

Some of our customers Vendors change their bank account numbers according a AP Invoice. In Payment Wizard run user is able to see the Vendor Bank Account Number only after the payment are added. If the account number is incorrect, accountant must manually cancel all payment wizard entries. Many accountant require that Vendor bank account number should be checked before the payment run is excecuted. Therefore in the Payment Wizard -> Recommendation Report the Vendor bank account number from the AP Invoice should be included in this step.
This cannot be done by using UDF/FMS cause you are not able to create one in this form. No workaround for this issue.

Sorting of Dunning Wizard and Payment Wizard

Dear Development,
we have the following business situation.
1) We create a Dunning Wizard or Payment Wizard.
2) We make a printout of all selected business partner and documents in Step 5 of the DW or PW.
3) The chief decides which payments should be done.
4) We have to unslect or select the checkboxes again.
5) The problem is now, it is quite difficult to find out the correct business partner related to the printout.
We need a filter functionality or a sorting algorithm for all columns. Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards Chris

Hello Chris,
Thank you for your input. It's quite clear and reasonable. Unfortunately, sorting and filtering feature is quite difficult to implement on multi-level/hierachical grids in SAP Business One; for the time being, this logic is not supported but we will consider it for one of the next major releases.
I guess ideally the 'Find' control could help better. That we can consider as well. What do you think?

DRQ: Allow choosing correct Business Partner bank account in Payment Wizard

Hello,
This is a DRQ about the Payment process.
It concerns the "Payment Wizard" functionality (Menu "Banking --> Payment Wizard") and the "manual outgoing payments" creation (Menu "Banking --> Outgoing Payment --> Outgoing payment").
Version : 2007A SP00 PL38
Description of requirements :
In the current version of SBO ( 2007 SP00 PL38 ) when we create an outgoing payment with bank transfer as Payment method (manually or with the Payment Wizard), it is not possible to specify the Supplier "bank account" to use. The default bank account defined in the Supplier Master Data is automatically chosen by SAP B1.
We can create several bank accounts in the Supplier Master Data, but it is not possible to use the non-default ones in the outgoing payments creation.
Business needs:
Some of our SAP B1 customers get suppliers with several bank accounts. They use the "Payment Engine" to generate "bank file" for bank transfer and forward the bank files to their banks and require to choose the correct bank accounts to use to pay each documents.
The aim of the Payment Wizard is to help the SAP B1 customers to create regularly and automatically some outgoing payments.
And when the Payment Wizard is run with several documents to pay on different supplier bank accounts for (for example AP Invoices to pay on different bank accounts for the same supplier), it does not work correctly because the bank account which is used in the "bank file" created at Step 9 of the "Payment Wizard" (by clicking the "Bank File" button added by the Payment Engine) is the default one.
Current Workaround:
To generate correct bank files, the SAP B1 user has to run several times the "Payment Wizard", modifying each times the default bank account of the supplier. The result is the creation of several "bank files"...
and an important loss of time !
Proposed solution:
In the Payment Wizard, in Step 6/9, add a column which allow the user choosing the bank account (for example in a "choose from list" which display the existing bank accounts of the corresponding supplier) for each document to pay.
The supplier default account is proposed by default but can be changed for each line.
This column should be deactivated for other payment method than "Bank Transfer".
This functionality should be interesting for manual outgoing payment because it should allow choosing the supplier bank account to pay on and recording this bank account information in the manual outgoing payment. In that way it will be possible to print the bak account information on the printed forms (PLD) we can print and send by fax to the bank.
Kind Regards.
Grégory

Hi Grégory
I have encountered the same problem: The payment wizard always suggests the supplier's standard bank account, irrespective of the information entered on the logistics tab in the pay to field of the AP Invoice. Unlike the solution you proposed (choose from list), I would prefer the payment wizard to automatically select the bank entered in the pay to field of the AP Invoice.
Best regards
Christiane

Payment wizard limits outgoing payments to balance in G/L bank account

SAP B1 2005A Banking, Payment Wizard, Recommendation Report limits recommended invoices for payment to the balance in the G/L bank account. Is there a way to get around this limitation?
It would be much better for our company if the Recommendation Report listed ALL invoices that meet the parameters we specified (Vendor # range, Vendor Group, Due Date, etc) then allow us to de-select individual invoices until the total of payments is below the G/L bank account balance.

Sorry for the hurry answer without check. The message on the screen clear says: Non-Included trans. displays rows for which a payment cannot be generated.
This is system behavior. I don't think there are any existing options other than try SDK.
Thanks,
Gordon

Order Payment Wizard Recommendation Report by BP Code then DocNum

Hi Experts,
Currently in SAP, the Payment Wizard Recommendation Report is ordered by BP Code. Documents per BP are then ordered at random.
Could this be changed to be ordered by BP Code, then DocNum to make finding specific documents easier
Thanks
Greig

Hi Greig,
We will consider this idea as a candidate for one of the next major releases.
Documents per BP are not listed randomly; they are sorted per Due Date field - key detail for deciding what to pay and what not.
Thank you.

Outgoing payment with Payment Wizard with Bank Transfer

Hello to everyone !!!
I'm Configuring a Company who want to use the 'Payment Wizard' to make Outgoing Bank Transfers payments with it.
I did the configuration in 'Payment Methods' of Outgoing Bank Transfers, where I chose a File Format from the list (Even I don't know which one should I choose) and I also chose de 'House bank', bank and account where the Outgoing Bank Transfers will come.
At the time when I did the payment wizard it suggest me to make an outgoing payment of my due A/P invoice very well. The problem is in the next step (STEP 7) when i run the execution and in STEP 8 it says:
0 Payments were added
0 Bank transfers were added
So, It did not make any bank transfer Transaction!!!! =S
Someone knows what i'm missing from the configuration???
Someone knows if this is a bug??
Thanks for your Help!!!!

a) Business Partner -> Business Partner Master Data.
b) Under the "Payment Terms" tab, enter the bank country.
c) Enter the account number and the branch, update to return to Business Partner Master Data.
d) Under the Tab "Payment system" tab, tick the desired Payment Method to include it in a payment run.
e) Under the Tab "Payment system", select the house bank that was defined for the desired payment method used for transactions with this business partner.
f) Update the window.

c) Define minimum and maximum payments if necessary.
d) Tick the box beside "Payment Methods".
e) Click on the radiobutton beside "Payment Methods" and select the payment method(s) to be executed in this payment run by putting a tick in the tick box.

This also applies to Credit Memos (and to manual Journal ENtries in 2007 A). Click on "Non-included Trans." to identify any troublesome transactions - Step 6.
g) Select to either "Save the selection criteria", or "Mark as recommended" to process at a later point in time or select to "Execute" immediately - Step 7.
h) In Step 8, you are given the Payments Run Summary.
i) If you selected to execute the payment run, in Step 9 the Document and Report Printing options will be displayed. To generate the bankfile and any associated documents relevant to your localisation, click on the radiobutton "Bankfile".
j) A "Browse for Folder" window will pop up where the destination directory of the output files must be selected. Once a folder was selected and "OK" was clicked, the payment engine will take the data out of Business One and create the defined files.
k) Once the procedure has completed, an information system message will be displayed: Payment Engine run was successful"
8. Go to the destination folder and check the logfile and the bank file(s).
All the best,

Payment Wizard not selecting open AP invoices

Hi,
I am having a problem with the payment wizard outgoing check run picking up open AP invoices. I am using the OEC Computers test company and input an AP invoice for Far East Imports and one for Acme Associates. Both invoices have docdates of 2/2/09 and due dates of 3/4/09.
When running the payment wizard I selected payment type of outgoing and payment means of check. Selected due date of 3/1/09 and posting date of 1/1/09 thru 3/5/09. At the next window I marked the "Outgoing Checks" option. However, on step 6 (Recommendation Report) the grid is empty showing neither of my 2 AP invoices.
I checked and both vendors have the outgoing payment method of "Outgoing Checks" assigned to them.
Why aren't my open AP invoices showing up for selection in the payment wizard process?

Hi,
Check the Tolerance days in the payment run defaults. Take the days as zero and run the payment wizard.
In 2005 version available under following path :
Banking Module > Payment Wizard > Payment Run Default > Tolerance days.
In 2007 version :
Administration > Setup > Banking > Payment Run Defaults.

Part Paid Invoice Missing From Payment Wizard / Outgoing Payments

Hi,
Having a bit of an issue with a purchase invoice on SAP B1. In brief:
The invoice was posted fine, then they paid 3 invoices but the total was short. The user allocated payment manually using outgoing payments to the 3 invoices, but partially paid the 3rd. This left an outstanding balance of 4,500 EUR
The user ran a payment wizard this morning and the invoice was picked up, along with any recent invoices for supplier, and showed the outstanding balance. The payment wizard was saved, not executed.
Upon review, the payment run was canceled so it could be re run with specific suppliers / invoices selected. However, the part paid invoice is now not showing on the payment run. Likewise, if you try to manually allocated payment for the supplier, it does not give the option to pay anything on the invoice, just all other open documents.
The invoice is still open, and the amount due on the BP balance is the amount o/s not the full amount which is correct.
I have tried recreating the issue on a test system of our own and a backup of their database and cannot get the same problem.
Any ideas would be of great help becuase I have searched the service portal and forums and can;t find anyone with a similair problem and running out of ideas myself.
Thank you in advance
Martin

Hi Martin,
Sometimes when cancelling payment and reconciliations there are values in the tables opch and pch6 that are not reset correctly and then appearing as fully paid.
Check if the Invoice is returned from this query:
select 'AP Invoice' as 'Document Type', docentry, docnum, cardcode, t0.transid, doctotal, paidtodate, balduedeb - balduecred as 'JDT1 Balance Due'
from opch t0 inner join jdt1 t1 on t0.transid = t1.transid
where doctotal - paidtodate = 0 and balduedeb - balduecred != 0
and shortname != account
Let us know how this works out. The query only checks opch you can check the paidtodate field in pch6 as well.

Outgoing Payment Wizard

I think I already know the answer, but when using the Outgoing Payment Wizard I have completed Step 7 and selected the Execute button and then Next, I assume there is no way to cancel the run after this point. I see if I exit then go back into the Payment Wziard, the run shows as Executed.
My only option at the point is to print and then void the check or checks?
Thanks in advance

Hi Dana,
What version are you on? In SBO 2005/2007A, you can cancel a payment without printing off the cheque(s). After executing the payment wizard is run, close without printing.
Bring up a payment in Outgoing Payments window and in the header section, right-click and select 'Cancel'. This will reverse the outgoing payment and break the link if applied to an invoice or J/E. You will need to do this for each one you want to cancel. If there are only a few, you can still print the good payments with thru Document Printing.
If a cheque was already printed, it will void the cheque at the same time.
Hope this helps,
Heather

Include Paycheck in Payment Wizard

Hi there,
I'm new to this forum and I was wondering if it's possible to include the paycheck or salary of the employees within SAP.
At this moment the salary is payed manually however it would be nice if it's possible to embed this information within SAP for two reasons offcourse no manual activity outside SAP as well as the information is valuable for a solid liquidity forecast.
Has anyone some good documentation for this or some advise?
I've seen the Recurring postings option however these journal entries does not come up in the payment wizard after they have been confirmed.
Kind regards,
Marcel Kieboom

Hi Rahul,
Thanks for your reply!!
Pity that SAP needs an extra addon for this.
Thanks again and I need to find another solution for this.
Kind regards,

Check Number Confirmation (Payment Wizard) Shows Ampersands (&) in B1 2007

Hi,
I just upgraded to B1 2007 and noticed in the Payment Wizard on the Check Number Confirmation dialog that the Change Print Status to drop down button shows the following options:
&Confirmed
D&amaged
&Not Printed
&Unconfirmed
I assume these should have been hotkeys of 'c', 'a', 'n' and 'u' respectively but are not showing as such. Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks,
David

Hi,
I would suggest you to please check this on the latest patch also.
In case the issue is still there it is better to log a message for SAP.

Payment Wizard in 8.8

Hi All,
In 8.8 , can we have the option to have the Invoice rate on Payment wizard and not Today's rate.
On 2007 we had the option to take the rate from invoice day but on 8.8 apparently it's not possible. Is it possible to use the exchange rate from the payment wizard.
Please let me know..
Thanks,
Joseph

HI Jitin,
What happened in the past is that at A/P Invoice header level they either used posting dateu2019s exchange rate, or manually recorded a specific rate for that transaction (case they have Invoice & payment in a foreign currency, and they u2018hedgedu2019 the rate at the bank (meaning the bank warrantees the rate for a period of time); ex. 1.2). Then when running the wizard, could be that rate on day they run the wizard is 1.3, but SBO is still keeping 1.2 (rate from Invoice header) for applying to the payment transaction
What happens now, is that whatever the rate in Invoice, the Wizard always takes u2018todayu2019 rate, and I found no option to set u2018take Invoice rateu2019.
Hope its clear now.
Thanks,
Joseph
