Definition

The payment method determines the procedure used for payments, for example, check, transfer, or bill of exchange.

Use

You enter payment methods in the master records of customers and vendors to define the procedures that can be used for payments. If open items are to be paid using a specific payment method, enter this method in the open items. You must also specify this payment method in the master record of the business partner. The terms defined for the payment method must be fulfilled for the payment.

Procedure

You define payment methods in Customizing for Financial Accounting as follows:

  1. Firstly, make all country-specific settings that are required for a payment method.
  2. Then, per company code, define the conditions under which a payment method can be used.

On the screen for selecting payment methods in the customer or vendor master record, all payment methods are displayed. When you select the required payment method, the system transfers this to the business partner master record.
