Manual Draft Creation Page

APD_MANDFT_SEL

Manually create customer-initiated or supplier-initiated drafts.

Manual Draft Entry Page

APD_MANDFT_ENTRY

Review drafts that you created on the Manual Draft Creation page.

You must have previously created a manual draft payment to access this page.

If you click the Build button on the Manual Draft Creation page and save the worksheet without completing the draft information, you can use this page to edit or complete the manual draft payment information. If you previously created the draft payment, you cannot edit any of the draft payment information. In this circumstance, this page is for information only.

Manual Draft Apply Page

APD_MANDFT_APPLY

Apply vouchers to manual drafts.

When you receive the draft (or draft notice for preapproved drafts), enter the draft on the Create Manual Draft page. The payment date is the draft due date. When you apply the draft to the appropriate vouchers, the scheduled due date, net due date, and payment method for each voucher are corrected to match the draft issue date, maturity date, and draft payment method. The vouchers are then marked as paid. With this process, you can apply multiple vouchers to a single draft.

Note: If financial sanctions validation is enabled at the installation level or the bank level, you cannot create a manual draft worksheet if the supplier has a financial sanctions status of Review or Blocked. However, if financial sanctions validation is enabled at the bank level and you no longer validate a particular supplier's bank, the system may allow you to create a manual payment worksheet for a supplier with a financial sanctions status of Review. The system validates the supplier against financial sanctions lists (for example, the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list) when you attempt to build a manual draft worksheet.

See Understanding Financial Sanctions Validation.

Withholding on Manual Drafts

In PeopleSoft Payables, you can calculate withholding at payment time or at voucher posting time by specifying a setting for the withholding entity. This withholding calculation setting appears by default on the voucher. If withholding for a voucher is set for calculation at payment time, users with the appropriate authority can override this setting to have withholding calculated at voucher posting time.

In the case of manual drafts, the system invokes the withholding calculation routine for any drafts applied to withholding-applicable vouchers. The withholding reporting tables are updated accordingly.

On the Manual Draft Creation page, you have the option of applying manual drafts only to vouchers that have already had withholding calculated at voucher posting time. If the Withholding Calculated field is selected (the default setting), the system allows you to apply manual drafts only to vouchers that are set to withhold at voucher post and that have been posted.

You can deselect this check box, in which case the system allows you to apply manual drafts to all withholding-applicable vouchers for the remit supplier, regardless of whether withholding has been calculated. The only exceptions are vouchers requiring withholding calculation at voucher post that have not been posted as yet. In this case, the system does not physically withhold, but it does update the withholding reporting table with the applicable withholding transaction amount for reporting purposes.

Use the Manual Draft Creation page (APD_MANDFT_SEL) to manually create customer-initiated or supplier-initiated drafts.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Manual Draft Creation page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Manual Draft Creation page

Enter the bank code and account information.

Field or Control

Description

Remit SetID, Remit Supplier, and Supplier Location

Enter the SetID, remit supplier ID, and supplier location for the supplier to whom you remit the manual payment. When you build the worksheet, the system returns eligible scheduled payments with the same supplier information.

Note: If financial sanctions validation is enabled and the supplier has a financial sanctions status of Review or Blocked, the system displays a warning that the supplier selected is currently under financial sanctions review and vouchers for this supplier cannot be applied against a manual draft.

Payment Currency

Displays the payment currency for the draft payment.

Match Currency

Select this option to return scheduled payments with the same payment currency. If you do not select this option, the system returns all eligible scheduled payments for the remit supplier, regardless of their payment currency, and converts them to the selected supplier's currency.

Withholding Calculated

Select return only those vouchers for the remit supplier that have had withholding calculated—that is, those vouchers for which withholding has been calculated at voucher posting time and that have been posted.

If this check box is deselected, all vouchers for the remit supplier are available on the manual draft worksheet, excluding vouchers that are set to have withholding calculated at voucher posting and that have not yet been posted. The Withholding tab of the Manual Draft Entry - Manual Draft Apply page displays two flags indicating whether the voucher is withholding-applicable and whether withholding has been calculated.

Pay to Bank Number

Specify the bank to which the draft payment is made. The pay-to bank number is used as one of the matching criteria for the scheduled payments that you apply to the draft payment. Only those scheduled payments that have the specified pay-to bank number appear when you click the Build button.

The value in the Pay to Bank Number field is a system-created value that is associated with each supplier bank account that you define on the Supplier Bank Account page.

Build

Click to create a temporary worksheet for the manual draft payment, based on the remit supplier, supplier location, and payment currency that you specify. Assign a draft worksheet ID search for scheduled payments that match the specified criteria. The system displays the Manual Draft Entry page, where you can enter the payment amount, draft drawee, payment description, and draft maturity date.

Note: If financial sanctions validation is enabled, the system validates the supplier against financial sanctions lists (for example, SDN list) when you click the Build button. The system updates the supplier's financial sanctions status on the Supplier Information component (VNDR_ID). The system does not allow you to build a draft worksheet for a supplier with a financial sanctions status of Review or Blocked. However, if financial sanctions validation is enabled at the bank level and you no longer validate a particular supplier's bank, the system may allow you to create a manual draft worksheet for a supplier with a financial sanctions status of Review.

See Understanding Financial Sanctions Validation.

When you save manual drafts, the status of the draft varies depending on the values that you selected on the Payables Options - Payment Options page:

  • If you selected the Draft Issue Approval Required check box, the status of the manual draft is Approved.

  • If you did not select the Draft Issue Approval Required check box, the status of the manual draft is Created.

Note: After the system builds a draft worksheet, if you decide that you don't want to create the manual draft, you can remove the draft worksheet by using the Delete Worksheets page. You cannot delete a draft worksheet if you have applied scheduled payments to the manual draft and saved the draft worksheet. After you have applied scheduled payments to the manual draft, you can cancel the manual draft payment by using the Cancel Manual Draft page.

Use the Manual Draft Entry page (APD_MANDFT_ENTRY) to review drafts that you created on the Manual Draft Creation page.

If you click the Build button on the Manual Draft Creation page and save the worksheet without completing the draft information, you can use this page to edit or complete the manual draft payment information. If you previously created the draft payment, you cannot edit any of the draft payment information. In this circumstance, this page is for information only.

This ensures that the paid amount is reported for withholding.
