Why can't I override a receipt's remittance bank account?

Three settings control the override of a receipt remittance bank account with the remittance batch bank account.

These settings are:

  • Ignore override option on the remittance batch.

  • Allow override option on the receipt.

  • Override bank option on the receipt remittance bank.

If you enable the Ignore override option on the remittance batch, Receivables replaces the remittance bank information on the receipt with the remittance batch bank information and includes the receipt in the remittance batch, without reviewing either the receipt Allow override option setting or the remittance bank Override bank option setting.

If you don't enable the Ignore override option on the remittance batch, Receivables still replaces the remittance bank information on the receipt with the remittance batch bank information and includes the receipt in the remittance batch under these conditions:

  • Allow override option on the receipt is enabled.

    Note: If the Allow override option on the receipt isn't enabled, Receivables includes the receipt in the remittance batch only if the receipt remittance bank is the same as the remittance batch bank.
  • Override bank option on the receipt remittance bank is enabled.

In both cases, Receivables verifies that both the receipt and the receipt batch remittance banks have the same general ledger accounts defined for remittances, and for unapplied, unidentified, and on-account receipts.
