Payment Method Id - dropdown is empty

[Adrian Stern]

Hello

I'm trying out some invoices but i'm unable to apply a payment to it
because i cannot set the payment method. The dropdown is empty.

I went to the gl global config and i tried to set some defauts in

1. global gl settings - payment method type
2. organizastion gl settings - gl account defaults:
   - payment type /gl account type id
   - payment method id / gl account id

But still the dropdown remains empty..

When trying to set the payment status to 'received' i get this message:

The Following Errors Occurred:

Cannot change the status to 'Received' when the mandatory payment method is
missing.

What needs to be done?

Regards,
Adrian

Ok. In the Demo Data i've found this line which does fill the drop down
when imported. Is the only way for doing what this line does through the
Xml?
Where can i find it in the GUI?

I've removed all the credit card info for the time begin.

<PaymentMethod paymentMethodId="PETTY_CASH" paymentMethodTypeId="CASH"
partyId="Company" description="Bargeld" glAccountId="1000"
fromDate="2009-04-01 00:00:00.000"/>

Really sorry for pushing this once again. But i just can't figure out where
this is configured in the system.

How do i add a credit card payment method after the system has gone live.
This can easily happen and i think the user (more privileged maybe) should
be able to do such things on his own. Also such a thing couldn't possibly
be config-file-only.

Other question:
If i want to file invoices which are paid with a money transfer from the
bank. Like when done through internet banking. Would i use EFT_ACCOUNT? Do
i have to bind it to a financial account the same way i bind CREDIT_CARD to
a actual credit card OR can i just create one more entry like the one above?

I it possible to localize the description="Bargeld" part?

I'm greatful for your support.

Regards, Adrian

You can add a credit card payment method in the Party Manager
application. Go to the party's profile screen and look in the lower left
corner.

The user can create their own credit card payment method if you provide
the UI for them to do so. See the eCommerce application for an example.

I've noticed that the EftAccount from DemoData uses a Financial Account
while the one i created in the GUI does not.

What is this FinAccount for? Is it "just" for monitoring transactions and
therefore optional? Or does it bring any benefits with it?

Adrian,

As far as I understand it, the financial account is an entity to reconcile
payment and receipts. It should be associated to a GL account (to see the
transactions in the GL). In accounting terminology it is a sub ledger.

Hi Pierre

Im really sorry but your answer raises even more questions.

What i understand from your answer ist this: (inline answers pretty much
desired)
1. Financial accounts are indeed optional for Accounting to work BUT you
need them to see the Balances and Transactions from specific GL Accounts.
2. One only creates financial accounts for gl accounts you want to monitor.

So next to the financial accounts there is no way of viewing
transactions/balance from a gl account?

This is how i create my EFT Payment method so far:
How do you do it?

  <PaymentMethod paymentMethodId="CS_CHECKED"
paymentMethodTypeId="EFT_ACCOUNT" partyId="Company" description="CS
Hauptkonto" fromDate="2014-02-21 09:01:53.19"/>
  <EftAccount paymentMethodId="CS_CHECKED" bankName="Credit Suisse"
routingNumber="4830" accountType="Checking" accountNumber="128 888 34"
nameOnAccount="Hauptkonto" contactMechId="9000"/>

Regards,
Adrian
