How to: Create Payment Journal Templates and Batches

  • Article

In Dynamics NAV, payment suggestions are generated and posted in payment journals. The structure of the payment journal is similar to the structure of other journal types. However, the payment journal contains some fields that are specific for processing payments. Before you can start generating payment suggestions, you have to set up a payment journal template and a payment journal batch.

If you assign a bank account to the payment journal template, the bank account will be inserted on all payment journal batches and payment journal lines that are created by using this template. By specifying a bank account for the journal template, you can reduce the time that is required for checking the payment suggestions.

To create a payment journal template

  1. Choose the Search for Page or Report icon, enter Payment Journal Templates, and then choose the related link.

  2. Choose the New action.

  3. In the EB Payment Journal Templates window, fill in the fields as described in the following table.

    Field Description
    Name Enter the unique name for the payment journal template that you are creating.
    Description Enter a description of the payment journal template.
    Bank Account Select the bank account that will be used when you create a payment suggestion.
    Reason Code Select the reason code that will be used on all the journal batches and lines that are created by using the journal template. If you want to use a different reason code on a journal line, you can manually change it.
    Source Code Select the source code that will be used on all the journal batches and lines that are created by using the journal template.

  4. Choose the OK button.

To add payment journal batches to the journal template

  1. In the Payment Journal Templates window, choose the Batches action.
