Passing Payment Methods and Customer Bank Accounts

All references to parent customer information in this section are only applicable if the Bill-To customer has only one parent and the relationship is not reciprocal. For example, if the Bill-To customer for the line has more than one parent, lines 1 & 2 below will not apply.

Payment Methods

Regardless if you are passing manual or automatic payment methods, AutoInvoice validates that the payment method belongs to the Bill-To customer/site or the parent of the Bill-To customer/site, if it has one. Additionally, the payment method must have at least one bank account in the currency of the transaction or its Receipts Multi-Currency flag must be set to Yes.

If you do not pass a payment method, AutoInvoice defaults one using the following hierarchy:

1. Primary payment method assigned to the primary site for the parent

2. Primary payment method assigned to the parent customer

3. Primary payment method assigned to the Bill-To site for the line

4. Primary payment method assigned to the Bill-To customer for the line

Customer Bank Accounts

If you are passing a customer bank account and the payment method associated with the transaction is automatic, AutoInvoice validates that the customer bank account belongs to one of the following, otherwise the line is rejected:

1. Bank account assigned to the primary site for the parent

2. Bank account assigned to the parent customer

3. Bank account assigned to the Bill To site for the line

4. Bank account assigned to the Bill To customer for the line

If you do not pass a customer bank account and the payment method associated with the transaction is automatic, AutoInvoice defaults one using the following hierarchy:

1. Primary bank account assigned to the primary site for the parent

2. Primary bank account assigned to the parent customer

3. Primary bank account assigned to the Bill-To site for the line

4. Primary bank account assigned to the Bill-To customer for the line

If AutoInvoice is unable to default a customer bank account, the line is rejected.

AutoInvoice uses the customer bank account to determine whether the paying customer is the parent or the Bill-To customer. If the paying customer is the Bill-To customer, the paying site is the Bill To site. If the paying customer is the parent, the paying site is the primary Bill-To site of the parent. Customer bank accounts are not used for manual payment methods.
