Settings in the Payables module - Payment Modes

Payment Modes represent the different methods by which your Invoices will be paid by your Customers (and by which you will pay your Vendors). Typical examples are cash, check, direct debit and credit card. For many businesses, the difference between such payment methods in terms of the way they are accounted for is minimal, but where appropriate, Books by HansaWorld does allow each Payment Mode to debit a different Account and to be paid into a different bank account.

The Payment Modes setting is in both the Payables and Receivables modules. To open this setting, ensure you in either of these modules and then click the [Settings] button in the Master Control panel. Double-click 'Payment Modes' in the 'Settings' list. Fill in the fields as described below. Then, to save changes and close the window, click the [Save] button. To close the window without saving changes, click the close box.

You can enter as many Payment Modes as you need, using the grid on the 'Payment Modes' screen. To add a Payment Mode, click in the Code field of the first blank row and enter appropriate text. To remove a Payment Mode, click on the row number on the left of the row and press the Backspace key.

Code
Enter a unique code by which the Payment Mode is to be identified from elsewhere in Books by HansaWorld.

Account
Paste Special    Account register, General Ledger/System module
Specify here the cash, bank or other Account to be debited by any Receipt and credited by any Payment using the Payment Mode.

Bank A/C No
Specify here the bank account number used for this Payment Mode. On the purchase side, this will be copied to the Own Bank A/C field in Payments.

Comment
The name of the Payment Mode. This will be shown in the 'Paste Special' list, so it should be descriptive enough to make the selection of the correct Payment Mode easy for all users.
