The Create Drafts Application Engine process (AR_DRAFTS) creates supplier-initiated drafts and creates a draft worksheet. The process looks for open items that match the supplier draft payment method that you selected and does the following:
Marks each draft as Identified.
If the draft is preapproved, approves the draft.
Creates a draft worksheet.
Places all items with the same letter of credit number in a single draft.
Places all items with the same approval method, entry currency, due date, and document printing instructions in a single supplier-initiated draft.
If you selected the One Item per Draft? check box when entering pending items, the process places only one item in a draft.
If the draft type has automatic numbering enabled, assigns the next available draft reference number to the draft.
If the draft type does not have automatic numbering enabled, the system uses the draft ID number for the draft reference number.
Note: If the settlement date falls on a holiday, the process uses the bank holiday rules assigned to the customer to adjust the estimated settlement date.
The process also does the following for credit items that have the draft payment method:
Adds credit items to the draft worksheet if the due date and amount of the credit item is the same as or less than the due date or amount of the debit items.
The process continues to add credit items to the draft worksheet whose due dates are the same as or less than the due dates of the debit items in the draft worksheet until the amount of the credit items becomes larger than the total of the debit item. The process never allows the draft amount to become a negative amount.
If credit memos that meet the due date criteria but exceed the total amount of the draft still remain, these items are available for inclusion in a draft worksheet the next time you run the process.
Changes the draft due date for the credit items to the same date as the debit items.
Clears the One Item per Draft? check box for the credit items if it is selected.
Creates a message in the message log that lists the credit items that were not processed in the current draft run because they have a due date or amount that is greater than the debit items.

Pre-Approved Only |

Customer Criteria and Customer Group |
These fields work together to limit the customers for whom you will create drafts. If you decide to select items based on customer criteria, select one of these options: Customer, Corporate, or Remit From. Then, select the customer group assigned to the customers. For example, suppose you select a customer group containing customers FRA01 and FRA04 and you select Remit From. The customers in the remit-from customer group for customer FRA01 are FRA01 and FRA03. Customer FRA04 is the only customer in the remit-from customer group for customer FRA04. In this case, the system selects items for customers FRA01, FRA03, and FRA04. If you had selected Customer as the customer criteria, the system would select items for only customers FRA01 and FRA04. |
Due Date Option |
Select a value that determines the due date for the items in the draft. Options are: Default: Use the item due date. If you use item due dates, the process creates a separate draft for items with different due dates. Specified: Use the date that you entered in the Due Date field for the items. |
Draft Type |
Select a draft type. (The draft types are defined on the Draft Type - Receivables page.) |

Review |
Select a review option. Options are: All: Creates draft control records for all records in the EFT file even if they do not have a matching customer or bank account in the system. Errors: Select if you want to review and correct errors for drafts before the system updates the Draft Control table. This option is available only if you are processing drafts. |
File Name |
Enter a name for the EFT file. The name of the EFT file must be unique. The file must be loaded into the directory on the application server defined by %PS_SERVDIR%\FILES, where %PS_SERVDIR% is the directory where the application server domain is defined. If you process the EFT file using Process Scheduler, then you need to load the file into %PS_CFG_HOME%\appserv\prcs\ <database name>\files. After the system processes the file, it updates a table (DR_FILE_NAME) on the database with the name of the flat file that was loaded. Using a unique file name prevents drafts or payments from being entered into the system twice. Only the file name is stored, not the path. |
