Field   Description
Bank Account * The bank account you want to use to make the payment.
Discount Date *

The date used to calculate any settlement discounts that can be deducted from the payment. This defaults to the payment date, but you can change it up until the status of the proposal becomes "Proposed". If you want to change it after that, you must remove all transactions from the proposal and start again.

See the description of the Payment Date field for defaulting behavior.

Payment Currency *

Payment Date *

The date of the payment, which appears on the check or in the bank file.

If this is the first time you have specified a payment date, this automatically becomes the default discount date. If you amend the payment date later, the discount date remains unchanged.

The payment date is also the date used for the cash entry and any transactions that are generated from the payment.
