Payment Selection Fields

This topic describes the interface elements on the Payment Selection page.

Filter Criteria

The Filters button shows or hides the filter criteria panel.

When entering a From/To range, if the From value is left blank, the selection will include values less than or equal to the To value. If the To value is left blank, the selection will include values greater than or equal to the From value.

Key: * – Mandatory field

Filter Criteria	Options		Usage Notes

Due Date	From/To		Enter a From/To date range.
General Ledger Account	Multi-Select Contains From/To	*	Select multiple GLAs from a drop-down list, search for GLAs that contain a particular string, or enter a From/To range. By default only GLAs of type "Balance Sheet" where Trial Balance 1 = Balance Sheet and Trial Balance 2 = Current Liabilities or Long Term Liabilities are retrieved, but you can modify this behavior using the custom setting GLA Filtering in Payment Selection (Accounting Settings). See Accounting Settings for more information.

Vendor Invoice Number	Equal Contains From/To		Enter a specific number, search for numbers that contain a particular string, or enter a From/To range.

Click the gear icon to see the options that are available to you.

Tip:

If you find retrieval by using a particular filter field is slow, your administrator can ask Salesforce to add a custom index to that field. This could improve performance.

Buttons

Button	Description
Clear Filters	Clears any values you have entered for the selected filter criteria, so that you can start again.

Retrieve Documents

When you click Retrieve Documents all transactions that meet your filter criteria and are available for payment are listed in a grid. The controls available in the grid are:

Checkbox to include or exclude a row from the current payment. Checkboxes are available at different levels to let you select all the transactions in the grid, all transactions for a particular account, or individual transactions.
Transactions are grouped by account. Click the +/– icon to expand or collapse the list of transactions for an account.
Hover over a column heading then click the down arrow to display a shortcut menu where you can change the sort order of rows, and choose which columns to display in the grid.

As you select and deselect transactions, the Payment Total updates to show the latest payment value.

Note that the Payment Total does not include discount values; discounts cannot be applied until a Payment Date has been specified.

Create Payment

Click Create Payment to create payments for the selected transactions. A dialog box is displayed where you must enter the payment details.
