Control Over Managment Of Outstanding Balances

Through this process, iDempiere manages customers receipts  and payments to suppliers. It also manages the bank reconciliation and the management of the cash book, keeping track of all payments in transit, bank charges and the creation of payments by direct transfer.

Account payable

As it was explained in control  from requisition  until payment ,  accounts payable  can be generated automatically, depending on the supplier's  parameterization or  depending on the terms of the invoice. Rules can be changed any time, which it gives to iDempiere a big flexibility. The methods for payment are supported by :

 

 Cash        :                     it creates  an entry to the cash book of that day.

 

 Checking account:      It is the method of payment by default applied  to any business partner. It can be changed  at any given time.

 Credit card:               Transactions with credit card can be processed on line . Invoices can be checked out  as paid and charges are kept as  payment pending of reconciliation. This method may require an external processor for credit cards.

        Checks:                     After selecting the proper bank , you will be able to keep yours checks saved in the system.  Invoices are checked out as paid and checks are kept in the system as payment pending of  reconciliation.

Allocation

To allocate is the process of linking a payment, or multiple payments, to one or multiple invoices or credit notes, recording discounts on payments and canceling of accounts receivable. The user simply selects the appropriate documents and enters or confirms the differences as partial payments, discounts or cancellations.

Conciliation Banking
