Setting Up Basic Data for Payment Document

This step is mandatory.

In the Payment Documents window, you can enter and modify details of your companys payment document. The identity of a payment document consists of a document series ID, tied to remittance code, the way of payment, and the cash account for a document type, such as supplier check. 

You should also select the Use Interim Cash Account check box if processing of the payment document will only affect an interim cash account until the document is cashed. This is a fairly common practice in the U.S. for check bank reconciliation purpose. To define the number series for a payment document series, such as checks or bills of exchange, right-click to open the Payment Document Number Series window.

In the U.S., this step ties a previously set up bank cash account to the check printing process. It also defines the check number series when printing checks. 

In the Check Handling Codes window, you can also define the check handling code to be used in supplier invoices entry. The sort order of printed checks will be affected when automatic supplier check payments are made.
