Process Vendor Payments
When you make a payment to a vendor, you post the payment in a payment journal. You can either import a bank statement file use the Suggest Vendor Payments batch job in the payment journal to find payments that are due. You can also use the Vendor - Summary Aging report to get an overview of payments that are due.
When the payments are posted, export them to a bank file for upload to your electronic bank site for processing.
Note
The generic version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV only supports SEPA Credit Transfer. Several other forms of electronic payment are supported in local versions. To enable export of a specific bank file, see How to: Enable Import/Export of Bank or Payroll Files Using the Data Exchange Framework.
From the Payment Journal window, you can print computer checks or record when checks are written manually.
When Computer Check is selected in the Bank Payment Type field in the Payment Journal window, the checks must be printed before the journal lines can be posted.
When the payments are made on your electronic bank site, import the bank statement to apply the payments to open purchase documents, so they can be posted to vendor, general, and bank account ledger entries.
