Currency BP and Payment Engine

[Former Member]

Dear all,

In the BP master the currency is set to All currencies as of purchase orders created in Euro's and USD.

So ther're several AP Invoices booked in USD as booking in EUR doesn't occur that much for a certain supplier.

We use the Payment Engine to pay all our open AP invoices.

For this supplier however the engine pays the outstanding AP invoices in Euro's as that is our system value as we're situated in The Netherlands.

I know that we can change the currency in which we will pay the invoice in screen 6 of the payment engine, but then we have to search for AP invoices booked in other currencies then proposed in the screen (Euro, see attachement).

I thought the currency of the AP document was leading in this and so should have been paid in USD instead of EUR.

As there can be many AP invoices to be paid, it's not efficient to first control all booked invoices in screen 6 if the right currency has been proposed. and change them if neccesary.

Is this the normal way to use the Payment Engine or did we maybe miss something in customizing this.

Thanks for your advise.

Best regards,

Crl Verhagen

I found the solution already.

In the settings of the payment method you have the choice how to group the invoices in the payment.

So you have the option to group the invoices by currency and if you mark this, the payment engine will group all invoices with the same currency and create a payment in that currency.

Also if a bussines partner has invoices in several currencies, the payment engine creates several payments and not only 1.
