Payment Batch Limit. The default maximum outlay amount Payables will pay for each payment batch. If a payment batch exceeds the maximum outlay, Payables displays a warning message that you are exceeding your maximum outlay, but allows you to proceed with the payment batch.

EFT User Number. The number which identifies you as a user of electronic funds transfer services to your bank or clearing organization. Payables includes this information in some EFT payment formats.

Discount Distribution Method. The method you want Payables to use for distributing the discounts you take when making payments.

If you leave this field blank, Payables uses the System Account method for distributing your discounts.

• Prorate Expense. Payables automatically prorates any discounts across all the invoice distributions. Payables assigns the discount to the charge account unless the invoice is matched to a purchase order with Accrue on Receipt enabled, in which case it is assigned to the price variance account.

You cannot select Prorate Expense if your Exclude Tax From Discount Payables option is enabled in the Invoice region of this window.

• Prorate Tax. Payables automatically prorates a percentage of the discount amount across the tax distributions. Payables only prorates the percentage of discount amount equal to the percentage of your tax distributions. Payables credits the remaining discount amount to the Discount Taken account you enter in the Financials Options window.

For example, if your tax distributions are 10 percent of the total invoice amount, Payables prorates 10 percent of the discount amount across the tax distributions. Payables credits the remaining 90 percent of the discount amount to the Discount Taken account.

You cannot select Prorate Tax if your Exclude Tax From Discount Payables option is enabled in the Invoice Tax Information region of this window.

• System Account. Payables credits all discounts to the system Discount Taken account you define in the Financials Options window.

If you enable Automatic Offsets, and you want to have Payables distribute Discount Taken amounts across balancing segments, choose this method. See also: Automatic Offsets.

If you enable the Use bank charges option in the payment region, the Discount Distribution Method defaults to System and you cannot update it.

Allow Document Category Override. Enable this option if you want to allow users to override the default document category assigned to a payment document by Payables. If your Sequential Numbering profile option is Partially Used or Always Used, Payables automatically assigns a document category to a payment document when you define a payment format for the payment document. Payables predefines a document category for each payment method. Your system administrator can define additional document categories for a payment method. You can then use these additional document categories to override the default document category for a payment document, if you enable this Payables option.

If your Sequential Numbering profile option is Not Used, Payables does not assign a document category to a payment document and you cannot enter a value in this field. Payables also does not allow you to enter a document category for a payment.

Allow Print. If you enable this option, you can create Quick payments.

Suggestion: If you are going to print Quick payments, you may want to have a fast, dedicated concurrent manager queue and a dedicated printer with checks ready to print.

Allow Pre-Date. If you enable this option, Payables allows you to create payments with a payment date before the system date for any payment except a manual payment.

Allow Void and Reissue. You may need to reissue a check if it is spoiled during printing. If you enable this option, you can reissue a Quick payment. When you reissue a check, Payables voids the old check and creates a replacement check. The checks are identical except that the new check has a new check number, payment date, and payment exchange rate if you are using multiple currencies.

Allow Address Change. Enable this option if you want to allow users to address a payment to an address other than the invoice's supplier site's address.

Allow Remit-to Account Override. Check this check box if you want to allow users to change the default primary supplier site bank account during Quick payment and payment batch creation. If you enable this option, you can override the Payables default of the Remit-to field of the Payments window and the Modify Payment Batch window. You can then select an alternate Remit-to account from a list of the supplier site's active bank accounts that use the same payment currency. If you do not enable this option, you can override the Remit-to bank account only in the Scheduled Payments window.

Use Bank Charges. If you want to use the Bank charge feature, enable this option. See also: Bank Charges.

If you enable this option, you must enter a value for the Bank Charge bearer field in the Suppliers region of the Payables Options window. Also, if you enable this feature, Payables will enter System Account as the value for the Discount Distribution Method field in the Payment region of the Payables Options window, and you cannot override this value.

If you enable this option, you cannot take discounts on invoices.
