Issuing Payments

When you use the Print function in the Credit Invoice Acceptance program (P04571) to issue payment orders, the system performs the validations that are based on the payment instrument.

If the payment instrument for acceptance is used, the system verifies that these conditions are met to correctly issue the payment:

• The supplier is set up to issue credit invoices.

• The voucher meets the conditions to require a credit invoice.

• The amount exceeds the minimum.

• The tax area has been set up for credit invoices.

• The payment terms generate a due date that exceeds the payment time limit that is specified in the General Constants program (P76A20).

• Credit invoice information has been recorded in the system.

• The credit invoice has the appropriate status for payment.

If the payment instrument corresponds to that of checks or another payment method, and the supplier is set up to issue credit invoices, the system verifies that these conditions are met to correctly issue the payment:

• The voucher meets the conditions to require a credit invoice.

• The amount exceeds the minimum.

• The tax area has been set up for credit invoices.

• The payment terms generate a due date that exceeds the payment time limit that is specified in the General Constants program (P76A20).

• Credit invoice information has been recorded in the system.

• The credit invoice status indicates that the credit invoice has been rejected due to cash payment.

If the payment instrument corresponds to that of checks or another payment method, and the supplier is not set up to issue credit invoices, the system issues the payment by using standard payment processing.
