Generating a Payment Proposal File
Generating a payment proposal file is the final step of payment proposal processing. Depending on the interface type and option you have selected for the Generate Transfer action, this action enables you to create a document for the archived payment proposals or download the file to a hard drive, or send the file to a banking system or to a dedicated server of a bank.
To generate a payment proposal:
- Choose the icon, and enter Payment Proposal List and then select a related link.
- On the action bar choose the Generate Transfer action. The options are:
- Generate - Specifies that the application creates a payment proposal file, but it is not exported. The export can be run from the archived payment proposal.
- Generate and Export - Specifies that a payment proposal file is generated, and it is additionally exported (depending on the interface, the file is downloaded to the hard drive or sent to the banking system via a network service).
If the file is generated correctly, the payment proposal will no longer be displayed on the payment proposal list page. An archived proposal will be created. For details read, Archived Payment Proposal. If a payment proposal contains any errors, the process will be interrupted and warnings will be displayed in the Payment Proposal Errors section.
Note
The type and format of the interface the user uses and local requirements of the bank determine, which fields should be filled in as well as the list of displayed warnings and errors.
Important
Generating payment proposals is not possible, if the entry with a value in the On Hold field has been added to a payment proposal or a linked vendor is blocked.
