Setting up payment suggestion templates

Payment suggestion templates store the settings and filters used to generate payment suggestions. Templates are useful in companies where several bookkeepers work with payments, for example, when one bookkeeper manages international payments, another manages local payments, and a third manages direct debits. Each bookkeeper can use a predefined set of filters instead of entering the same settings each time a payment suggestion is created.

To add a payment suggestion template

To add a payment suggestion template:

1. Search () for and select Payment suggestion templates. You can also create a template directly from a payment proposal.

2. The Payment Suggestion Templates list page gives an overview of all templates and shows the basic fields. From this page, you can create a template, set the suggestion filters with the Set Suggestion Filters action, and start a payment suggestion with the Create Suggestion action.

3. Click New to add a template, or click Edit to open the card and complete the remaining settings.

4. In the Journal Template Name and Journal Batch Name fields, specify where you can find the payment suggestions once the template is applied.

5. On the card, the settings are grouped into the General, Suggestion, Templates, Suggestion Filters, and Job Queue sections. Fields that are rarely used are hidden behind Show more, and fields that apply only to Advanced Payment Suggestion mode appear only when the journal used by the template runs in advanced mode. The filters on accounts and entries appear as readable text, so you can see the current filter without opening it. You can now define the other settings for your template, such as:

   Field	Description
   Find Payment Discounts	Applies available payment discounts when selected. Use Payment Discount Application Method to control whether discounts apply only when the posting date is on or before the discount date, or regardless of the posting date.
   Summarize per Account	Consolidates entries into one line per account per currency. If the field isn't selected, the batch job creates one line per invoice.
   Including Backlog	Includes accounts with an overpayment, for example, accounts with more credit memos than invoices, even though no payment is required.
   Payment Discount Application Method	Defines how payment discounts are applied based on the posting date. If left blank, discounts apply only when the posting date is on or before the discount date. If set to Always apply discount, discounts apply regardless of the posting date. This field only applies when Find Payment Discounts is enabled.
   Include On Hold Entries	Available only with Advanced Payment Suggestion mode. Includes entries marked as On Hold, not only entries that are due.
   Include All Entries	Available only with Advanced Payment Suggestion mode. Includes all invoices, even those not yet due, allowing early payment when desired.
   Include Recurring Journal Entries	Available only with Advanced Payment Suggestion mode. Includes recurring journal entries, useful for regular payments such as rent.
   Description Template, Remittance Information Template, Recipient Reference Template, Sender Reference Template	Define the templates used for journal line descriptions, remittance information, and references. Continia Banking provides predefined templates through the setup service, so you don't normally need to complete these fields manually.
   Use for Job Queue	Turns on a job queue for the template. When the field is selected, Job Queue ID shows the job queue entry ID. To schedule templates at different intervals, create additional job queue entries and select the appropriate ID here. On the Job Queue Entry Card, make sure that the CTS-PE Create Pmt. Sugg. JQ codeunit runs by setting Object Type to Codeunit and Object ID to 71553881.
