You purchase $100 worth of product from a vendor. Your payment terms include a 2-percent discount, so you make a payment of $98. You are distributing the payment to two different bank accounts; bank account A receives 75-percent, and bank account B receives 25-percent. Based on your selected distribution method, your payment would be distributed as follows:

Percent of Net Amount:

  • Bank account A receives $73.50, which is the $98 payment multiplied by 75-percent.

  • Bank account B receives the remaining 24.50.

Percent of Gross:

  • Bank account A receives $75, which is the $98 payment plus the $2 discount (2-percent of $100) multiplied by 75-percent.

  • Bank account B receives the remaining $23.

 

Percent/Amount

Type a value to determine how much of the payment will be distributed to the account.

  • If you selected Percent of Net or Percent of Gross in the Distribution Method field, enter a percentage in this field.

  • If you selected Fixed Amount in the Distribution Method field, enter a dollar amount in this field.

 

Pre-Note Sent

This field indicates the status of the pre-note. A pre-note is a zero-dollar credit amount sent to the vendor's bank to ensure that the account is correctly set up for electronic payments.

  • When a bank account number is entered, this field is set to No.

  • When the Pre-Note Selection Register is updated, this field is automatically set to Yes.

  • When the Pre-Note Approval Register is updated, this field is automatically set to Approved.

You can manually change this field if needed; it must be set to Approved to process electronic payments.

Note If the Reset Pre-Note When Renumbering the Vendor check box is selected in Accounts Payable Options, this field will be reset to No if you renumber the vendor using the Delete and Change Vendors utility or the Renumber button in Vendor Maintenance.

This field displays the date that the pre-note was sent or approved; it is automatically updated when the Pre-Note Selection Register and Pre-Note Approval Register are updated, but it can be manually changed. This field is available only if an option other than No is selected in the Pre-Note Sent field.
