Set Up Payment Classes

To use payment management in the French version of Business Central, you must set up payment classes to define operation types, such as bills of exchange, electronic payments, or checks. Payment classes are defined in the Payment Slip Setup page.

For each operation type, you then define the various statuses that the operation type can have, and you associate each status with steps to define how the payment changes from one status to the another.

To set up a payment class

Choose the icon, enter Payment Slip Setup, and then choose the relevant link.
On the Payment Slip Setup page, choose the New action.

Fill in the fields as described in the following table.

Field	Description
Enable	Select to enable usage of the payment class.
Code	The unique identification code for the payment class.
Name	The payment class description.
Header No. Series	The number series code for the payment slip header.
Line No. Series	The number series code for the payment slip lines. If you leave this field blank, the number for each payment line is created based on the payment header number.
Suggestions	The type of payment proposals that can be created automatically on a payment slip.
Unrealized VAT Reversal	Specify the method to handle unrealized VAT. If you select Application, VAT will be realized when you post the invoice application and payment application. If you select Delayed, you must define the payment step during which VAT must be realized, by selecting the Realize VAT field on the Payment Step Card page.
SEPA Transfer Type	Specify the SEPA export format, either Credit Transfer or Direct Debit. You specify the export format for SEPA transfers in payment steps for the payment class.

To set up payment statuses for a payment class

In the Payment Slip Setup page, select a payment class, and then choose the Status action.
On the Payment Status page, choose the New action.
Fill in the fields. Hover over a field to read a short description.

For example, the RIB field indicates that information about the Relevé d'Identité Bancaire (RIB) statement for the customer or vendor must be displayed in the payment lines. The RIB information includes the bank branch number, agency code, bank account number, bank name, RIB key, and key verification.
When you have defined the statuses you want for this payment class, return to the Payment Slip Setup page.

Next, you must define steps for each payment class. The payment steps define how the payment moves from one state to the next, such as Creation of documents, Documents created, and Creation of payments.

To set up payment steps for a payment class

In the Payment Slip Setup page, select a payment class, and then choose the Steps action.
In the Payment Step list, add the relevant steps for this payment class. For each step, you can enter a maximum of 50 alphanumeric characters.
Choose the first step, and then choose the Edit action.
On the Payment Step Card page, fill in the fields. Hover over a field to read a short description.

[!TIP] The Previous Status field defines the previous status, from which the step was last executed. The default value is 0, and the first step will have 0 as the value of the Previous Status field.

To make a step optional and potentially repeatable, set the previous status to be equal to the next status.

The Action Type, Export Type, and Export No. fields play together. For example, for SEPA credit transfer files, set Export Type to XMLport, and then set the Export No. field to 1000. For SEPA direct debit files, specify XMLport, and then set the Export No. field to 1010.

If the action type of the payment step is Ledger, you must set up extra ledger information for the payment step.

To set up ledger information for a payment step

On the Payment Step Card page for the payment step, choose the Ledger action.
On the Payment Step Ledger page, choose the New action.
Fill in the fields as appropriate. Hover over a field to read a short description.
