Outgoing Payments - Default GL Account question

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

In a Business Partner, if no Bank Account or Payment Method is selected in the Payment System tab, what determines the GL account which appears as default in the Outgoing Payments -> Payment Means -> G/L Account field?

My customer would like this field to be blank to force the user to choose an account

Thanks

Hi,

In respect to the issue the following explanation could be helpful :

Incoming payments Payment Means :

Four tabs

1) Check tab > The G\L Account is defaulted from the following link ; Administration>Setup>Financials>G\L Account determination>Sales Tab. The account defaulted in the 'Checks Received' field is defaulted under the check tab in payment means.

2) Bank Transfer Tab> No G\L Account is defaulted in this field. The user has to select the account manually.

3) Credit Card Tab> The account which is defaulted in the account field is the one defined for the credit card in the Admin>Setup>Banking>Credit Cards.

4) Cash Tab> The G\L Account is defaulted from the following link ; Administration>Setup>Financials>G\L Account determination>Sales Tab. The account defaulted in the 'Cash On Hand' field is defaulted under the cash tab in payment means.

Outgoing payments Payment Means :

- for Checks - Check the G\L Account code defined under the Adminsitration > Setup > Banking > House Banks.

- for the Bank Transfer Tab > G\L account is defaulted from the following link; Administration>Setup>Financials>G\L Account determination>Purchasinf Tab. The account defaulted in the 'Bank Transfer' field is defaulted under the Bank Transfer tab in payment means.

- for the Cash and Credit Card tabs;

No G\L Account is defaulted in this field. The user has to select the account manually.

Do you have an SAP note related to this?

Greig,

I believe in that particular area, the GL is autopopulated according to the payment methods setup, in accordance to cash, check, credit card, or bank transfer.

hope this helps,
