Addendum: Default Payment Types User Information

Introduction

Set the payment type to a pre-determined payment type when a payment is processed by setting Default Payment Types.

If Default Payment Types are not integrated from the accounting system, an Administrator can set those types directly in Payables Lockbox.

Default Payment Types can be stored at each of the following levels:

• Vendor (Global Vendor)

• Company Vendor

• Vendor Account Number

Payment types operate as a hierarchy. Default Payment Types at the specific levels can be overwritten by the following sub-levels:

• Default Payment Types at the Vendor Level can be overwritten by Company Vendor Override, Account Number, and Invoice levels for the selected Vendor, account number, or invoice. The Vendor default payment type will remain for all other Company Vendors, account numbers, and invoices.

• Default Payment Types at the Company Vendor level can be overwritten at the Company Vendor Account Number or Invoice levels for the selected account number or invoice. The Company Vendor default payment type will remain for all other account numbers and invoices in the system.

• Default Payment Types at the Company Vendor Account Number level can be overwritten at the Invoice level for that particular invoice. The payment type for all other invoices will still be controlled by the account number default payment type.

Example:

Cube Energy is a Global Vendor where HOA Delta and HOA Omega are Sub (related)-Companies. The Default Payment Type for Cube Energy is set to “Check” at the Company Vendor level.

pg. 7






HOA Delta has three accounts with Cube Energy that require three different payment methods. Cube Energy is also associated with the Company HOA Omega. HOA Omega requires payments by “Check.” There is an exception on an invoice for HOA Omega that requires the payment type of “Bank Draft.” The table below details how the Default Payment Method can be overwritten, accordingly, at the Account, Company, and Invoice levels, depicted in red.

Vendor Company Vendor

Vendor Account #

Invoice #

Default Payment Type at Vendor Level

Default Payment Type Override

Cube Energy HOA Delta 1234-5678 98765-4-32 Check n/a

Cube Energy HOA Delta 9101-1121 23456-7-89 Check Bank draft

Cube Energy HOA Omega 7777-8888 32323-4-56 Bank Draft Check

Cube Energy HOA Omega 7777-8888 11223-9-10 Bank Draft Check

Important: The payment type will not be retroactively populated for any existing Vendor Account Number records. By default, Vendor Account Number payment types will be inherited from the Vendor, either by the Global or Company Vendor. In this scenario, the Payment Type value will be listed as “Inherited,” combined with the originating source level and payment type.

Setting Default Payment Types

Setting the Default Payment Types for the various levels can be performed using multiple methods.

Set Default Payment Types Using Vendor Account Number Details

• When a user changes the Invoice Payment Type from the source Company or Global Vendor level default, two results occur:

pg. 11






i. The Source will be updated to “Invoice,” indicating the payment type has been set at the invoice level.

ii. The Set as Default option link will appear.

▪ When the user clicks the link, a confirmation pops up.

Click Yes to:

• Override the Default Payment Type at the Vendor Account Number level.

• Create a Vendor Account Number record if it does not already exist.

Number.

• Only update the payment type for the selected invoice.
