Creditor Maintenance - Payment Details tab key fields

Field

Description

Currency

The creditor's default currency. If no currency is selected, invoices default to the currency of the selected bank account.
Note: Foreign Currency must be enabled in Finance Configuration Maintenance to allow creditors with foreign currencies. See Synergetic Financial Configuration - General tab in the Finance manual.

Default Payment Method

The default method of payment to the creditor. Values include:

  • cheque
  • EFT.

Send Separate EFT for each Invoice

Select if you send a separate electronic funds transfer for each invoice.
For example, this enables easier matching between invoices and payments but increases the number of transactions.

BSB

Unique number which identifies both the bank and the branch of the creditor's account.

Account Number

Creditor's bank account number.

Payment Notify Method

Method of payment notification. Either:

  • Email
  • Remittance advice
  • Facsimile
  • No notification.


    Note: The details need to be set up to enable the email and facsimile payment notification methods to work.

Payment Email Address

Select the email address the creditor uses to receive payment emails (remittances):

  • Default
  • Home
  • Occupation.

Payment (remittance) emails are sent to the Payment Email Address (this field) and purchase order emails are sent to the Purchase Order Email Address on the Account tab of Creditor Maintenance. See Creditor Maintenance - Account tab.

You can configure the creditor to use different email addresses for payments and purchase orders by selecting a different email address type in each field. For example, you could select:

  • Home Email in the Payment Email Address field
  • Occupation Email in the Purchase Order Email Address field.
