D365 Finance and operations - how to get payment calendar (block holidays and weekdays) on vendor payments?

Question

Please see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/configure-accounts-receivable-dyn365-finance/payment-calendar-rules
My expectation is; when I run a vendor payment proposal and a vendor invoice is due on a weekday and I have set the terms of payment to "next business day" the "date to be paid" is the following monday. Unfortunately this is not working.

Hi Niclas Magnusson,

To activate and set up the Payment Calendar in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (D365 F&O), follow these steps:

1. Activate the Configuration Key:
   • Access System administration > Setup > Licensing > Configuration keys.
   • Search for the configuration key related to the Payment Calendar. The name might differ but will generally include "Payment Calendar."
   • Ensure the checkbox next to this key is selected and that it is active.
   • Click Save to confirm your changes.
   • You may need to restart or clear the cache for the changes to take effect in your system.
2. Set Up the Payment Calendar:
   • Once the configuration key is enabled, navigate to Accounts receivable > Setup > Payment calendar.
   • Set up or modify payment calendars by defining periods and configuring other necessary settings.

Keep in mind that the specific paths and options can vary based on your D365 F&O version. If the options aren’t visible, check with your system administrator or refer to the specific documentation for your version.

Hi Niclas Magnusson,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Please ensure that the configuration key for the payment calendar is enabled to allow the system to effectively utilize the calendar. Additionally, it is important to decide whether to implement payment calendars to adjust payment due dates, as such adjustments cannot be made without having the appropriate rule configured in the payment calendar settings.

You are required to create a distinct calendar for each country or region where you conduct business activities. For each calendar, you should define the standard business week and document any deviations from this standard.

Exceptions to the standard business week should be carefully recorded. This includes any days that are normally considered non-working but need to be treated as working days, as well as holidays that fall on what would typically be a working day. Please provide a description for each exception to explain the rationale behind the deviation from the standard business week.

It is also important to note that exceptions at the state, province, or city level can only be used to add additional holidays; they cannot be used to alter standard holidays into working days.

After following these steps, please attempt to execute the process again in the free trial environment using your organizational email address. If possible, provide a reference screenshot to illustrate the process and confirm that the steps were completed correctly.
