is configuration for Payment proposal needed when most of your suppliers are standard account?

Hi team,

I want to ask whether it is needed to enable Payment Proposal if most of your suppliers are using standard account.
How does it benefit your business in this case?

Thanks!

Hey Hong,

You don't have to configure it . Payment Proposals are typically used when the discounting functionality is used (i.e. if the buyer has enabled that functionality for their suppliers) .

Thanks,

Thank you for your response.

How about Payment Remittance? Do we need to configure it too in case we already configured Invoice status update?

In which case we should/shouldn't configure it?

Thanks,

Uyen

Payment proposal are not mandatory just like Dencil said.

However if you have them configured, one field called 'scheduled payment date' on invoice gets updated through that message - which lets supplier to see when the payment for invoice can happen (date is based on baseline date in SAP and it is computed).

Payment remittance is also optional but it lets supplier see that invoice was paid and where.

Otherwise, invoice status update will turn invoice status to 'paid' but it will not notify where the payment was made.

Thanks Prem and Dencil for your detailed answers. They made a lot of sense for what I was looking for.
