Changing Bank Accounts on a Payment Selection
When you save a payment selection with a status of Initial, you can subsequently modify the bank account and payment format used in the selection. This option is useful, for example, when the cash balance on the account you originally specified is not enough to pay the selection and you want to use another account. You may also want to change the payment format on the selection from, for example, an electronic transfer to a check, provided that the new format is also applicable for that supplier.
Note: This option is not available for customer payment selections.
This option is only available for selections with Initial status—when you register the selection, you generate postings and the system saves the bank and payment format information with the selection.
In addition, when the new payment format has attributes, they must also be of the same format. The changes do not work with a different format because even when the attribute names are the same, the allowed values are not necessarily the same.
Example: The SEPA payment format and the SWIFT-MT940 format both have an attribute named Reason for payment. For SEPA, the value can be A, B, or C. For SWIFT-MT940, the value can be X, Y, or Z. Therefore, an existing SEPA payment selection cannot be changed to one for SWIFT-MT940 because the payment attribute values specified on the payments have values A, B or C. These attribute values are not valid for SWIFT-MT940. See the next section, Changing Payment Attributes on a Selection, for more details.
You define the bank account and payment format to be used for payments to a supplier on the Banking tab of the supplier record. The default account and format are then displayed on the Financial Info tab of all invoices for this supplier.
You change the bank account to be used for this selection by selecting another bank account. You can only select another bank account that has been defined for this entity. To change a payment format, you can:
• Select a different bank account number (associated with the same bank account). Each bank account number can be associated with a different payment format.
• Select a different bank account.
Bank account numbers are associated with the payment format, and you can only select a combination of number and format that you have already created in Bank Payment Format Link (25.11.2). See Linking Payment Formats to Bank Accounts.
