Setting up payment suggestion templates

Saving specific settings for payment suggestions in templates benefits companies that work with multiple bookkeepers. Imagine a scenario where one bookkeeper manages international payments, another handles local payments, and a third oversees direct debits. Each bookkeeper requires distinct filters for their payment suggestions. By saving these specific settings, bookkeepers gain easy access to predefined sets, enabling them to focus on their specific responsibilities efficiently and effectively.

To add a payment suggestion template:

  1. Search (Search) for and select Payment suggestion templates. Alternatively, create a template directly from a payment proposal.

  2. On the Payment Suggestion Templates page, select the account type and on the action bar, select Set Suggestion Filters. Alternatively, select New and select the account type, add a name and a description.

  3. The Journal Template Name and Journal Batch Name fields determine where you can find the payment suggestions once the template is applied.

  4. You can now define other settings for your template:

    FieldDescription
    Description Template, Remittance Information Template, Recipient Reference Template, Sender Reference TemplateDefine templates used for journal line descriptions, remittance information, and references. Continia Banking provides predefined templates through the setup service, so you normally do not need to complete these fields manually.

    Payment Discount Application MethodDefines how payment discounts are applied based on the posting date.
