Payment Validation and Payment Suggestion

To be able to work with payment validation, the (bank) account must be interpreted in ExFlow Data Capture and below settings must be configured.

Let ExFlow validate that the interpreted bank account exits on current Pay-to Vendor Bank Accounts. And if ISV SweBase is installed, suggest the validated Vendor Bank Account to the document for payments.

Payment validation and Suggest Recipient Bank Account can be enabled for all vendors and disabled for selected vendors. Or just enabled for specific vendors.

When Payment Validation is enabled, ExFlow will compare the value interpreted in Pay-to-Account in ExFlow Data Capture against Pay-to Vendor Bank Accounts.

The interpreted value is compared without any special characters and value needs to exist in one or more of the selected fields added in Payment Validation Setup.

The interpreted Pay-to-Account will be shown on the header in Import Journal (Payment Validation Account No.), together with the selected Recipient Bank Account if enabled.

When Recipient Bank Account is selected, priority will be given to interpreted currency and Pay-to Account. If no Pay-to Vendor Bank Account exists with current currency, bank account without currency will be selected.
