Automatic Payments
OVERVIEW:
Invoices will be paid using the automatic payment program in SAP. All three countries will execute the payment run for
electronic bank transfers (for domestic and foreign payments) and by Arabia for check payment (using SAP check management
functionality) on a periodic basis. Payment methods will differ from company and from country.
Note: Turkey and Israel will use localisation programs for their check payments.
Payments will be generated when the due date is picked up on the invoice. A payment proposal will be created which can be
edited (for example, you can block individual invoices). Once the payment proposal is completed, the payment run will take
place.
The payment run will create the postings that will clear the open items of the vendor account and post this to the general ledger
in a clearing account. When the postings have appeared on the bank statement, they will then be moved from the clearing
account to the bank account in the general ledger. Discounts and exchange rate differences will be posted automatically if
applicable via automatic account determination.
