Creditor Remittances

The Creditor Remittances report is used to print or e-mail remittance advice notes after payments have been made using Processes > Payments. There are two options at the conclusion of the above payments process:

If you use the *Pay* option you will need to select *Reports > Creditor Remittances* to create remittance advice notes - and then select the required accounts.

If you use the *Pay & Remit* option you will be automatically taken to view shown below - with all the accounts just paid showing in the grid.

The standard Creditor Remittances parameters are:

Field	Column
Account	ANY - or other selection criteria and parameter(s).
Remittance Date	The date to appear on the remittance advice note.
Paid Date	The payment date; e.g when the payment will come out of your bank account.
Currency	ANY - or a specified currency (or BLANK which selects base currency only).
Payment Method	Any, Default, Cash, Cheque, BACS, Single BACS, Direct Debit - see: Processes > Payments
Rows per Page	Defines number of rows displayed per page in the "selection" view shown below.

These parameters are entered to select the creditor accounts for which you want to prepare remittance advice notes, thus:

The columns above are used as follows:

Field	Description
Suppress	Checkbox used to suppress printing, saving or e-mailing of a row; see below for options.
Account Code	Self explanatory.
Account	The account name - click to see transactions making up Amount Paid.
Payment Run	The date and time of the payment run.
Currency	The currency; if not displayed, the currency is the base currency.
Currency Paid	The amount paid (in non-base currency).
Amount Paid	The amount paid (in base currency).
Balance	The account balance (in base currency) after latest payment run.
	Hover pointer over this icon to see date remittance advice note last "printed".
	Indicates that the remittance advice note can be e-mailed - see Remittance Recipient Email at Reference > Creditor Accounts.
	Indicates that the remittance advice note has been successfully e-mailed (sent).

You can refine the accounts for which remittance advice notes will be printed, saved or e-mailed by suppressing (or unsupressing) individual rows using the checkbox. You can also supress (or unsupress) all rows on the current page using these icons:

	Select all - sets all checkboxes in a list to checked.
	Unselect all - sets all checkboxes in a list to unchecked.

Remittance advice notes can be printed, saved or e-mailed using these icons:

	Open all selected remittance advice notes (PDF Reader Open with option selected).
	Save all selected remittance advice notes in zip file (PDF Reader Save File option selected).
	E-mail selected remittance advice notes if possible - see: Remittance Recipient Email at Reference > Creditor Accounts.

Note that if you select the E-mail option you will be prompted to enter an e-mail message; this message will be used for all creditors so it should be generically worded.

Customer Email Macro

The email Subject can include two macros for account code and name.

The resulting email subject then looks like Statement (D00726): Sloughton Sound

Aqilla does not hold a copy of e-mails sent to creditors through Aqilla - e.g. e-mailed remittance advice notes. We advise you to consider your e-mail storage requirements during implementation and we refer you to help about Contacts at Configuration > Companies and the article Problems Sending E-mails.

Creditor statements can be customised. See the article Customising Output Documents.
