Usually documents that confirm payments are assigned unique payment
reference numbers. In Visma Net, you can specify whether specifying a unique payment reference number for outgoing
payments is required by using the Require unique payment ref. check
box that is displayed if the Not required option is selected in the
Additional processing section on the Settings for
supplier ledger tab (in the Payment methods (CA204000) window). If you select this check
box for a payment method, you will have to specify a unique payment reference number for
each payment made with this payment method.
Selecting the Print
payments or the Create batch payments options in the
Additional processing section makes the Require unique
payment ref. check box selected by default and unavailable.
You can enable automatic generation of a payment reference number for documents recorded to a
particular cash account with any payment method used in the Supplier ledger workspace. You
enable automatic numbering and specify the numbering rule for each cash account by using the
Supplier ledger - Suggest next number and the Supplier ledger last reference
number columns on the Allowed cash accounts tab of the Payment methods (CA204000) window.
The generated number automatically appears in the
Payment ref. field in the
Supplier payments (AP302000) window when a user creates a new document and selects the cash account and the
payment method for which the automatic numbering is configured.
Regardless of whether you enable automatic numbering, the user can manually specify a
payment reference number.
If you have configured the payment method so that documents must
be printed, the system will require the user to enter a unique payment reference number in
the Next payment number field in the
Create batch payments (AP505000) window before printing the document.
If printing is not required for documents that confirm payment, the user can manually
specify the payment reference number in the Payment ref. field in the Supplier payments (AP302000) window.
In this case, the system requires and validates the
uniqueness of each payment reference number only if the Require unique payment
ref. check box is selected for the payment method used.
