Payment References
Payment Reference
A payment reference is a value that identifies a document and is used to identify a payment transaction.
In the Electronic Banking Extension FI the Payment Reference has been added:
- on the Purchase Invoice page,
- on the Purchase Order page,
- on the Sales Invoice page,
- on the Sales Order page,
- in the Lines section on the Payment Proposal page,
- in the Lines section on the Bank Statement page.
Note
The Payment Reference field is hidden by default.
Handling the Payment Reference on Payment Proposals
Electronic Banking Extension FI extends the Payment Proposal page with the Payment Reference field. Its value is copied from the Payment Reference field in the vendor ledger entry or customer ledger entry that is linked to the payment proposal line, or entered based on the value that was manually assigned in the Lines section on the Payment Proposal page.
If you select an aggregation method other than No Aggregation, the transfer order aggregation will be blocked and separate lines will be created for each of the entries.
Important
To send a transfer order with the Payment Reference field, you need to use interfaces that support payments with reference.
Handling the Payment Reference on Bank Statements
Electronic Banking Extension FI adds the Payment Reference field to the bank statement card page. Payment references are used to match relevant entries across vendor ledger entries, customer ledger entries, or employee ledger entries in order to apply such entries against relevant bank statement lines.
