How to: Suggest DTA Payment for Vendors

You can suggest vendor payments using the payment journal, and transfer the overdue invoices into the journal for individual vendors. You can also examine each vendor for open credit memos or open payments, and build a list of vendors for DatenTrägerAustausch (DTA) processing. For more information, see How to: Verify a List of Vendors for DTA Payments.

During the batch processing of DTA payment suggestions, the foreign currency (FCY) amount is converted to local currency (LCY) at the current rate for FCY payments, and transferred into the payment journal. For more information, see the Payment Journal window. In the case of a bank debit, the LCY amount is overwritten with the debited LCY amount, and the exchange rate—or exchange factor—is calculated. For more information, see the General Ledger Setup table and the Currency Exchange Rate table.

The related vendor ledger entries are marked with DTA to prevent transfer of duplicate entries to the payment journal. You can view, check, and modify the suggested payments, and you can decide whether to reduce the payments by the credit memo amounts, or to apply the open credit memos and open invoices.
