Entering a Reccuring Bank Payment

Overview

Your regular bank payments can be handled automatically as reccuring bank payments. Let's say you have to pay rent every month. You can just setup a reccuring payment and the system will create the required payment on the correct dates. In addition, weekly payments can also be automated. Best practice is to have your bank perform a direct debit on a regular basis. Then use a bank reconcilliation rule to import the payment into your system from the bank statement.

If you are not using automated bank reconciliation import or if you can't get the bank to setup a direct debit to handle your regular payment requirement, then you would use this feature to create the payment from inside Readysell.

You need to know how often this payment reccurs and what type of reccurance rules best suits the transaction in question.

Eg if rent is to be paid every 15th day of every Month and the Value is also the same amount, then you would set up the recurrance rule on the payemnt to be as follows :

Automatic Posted; Every Month; Day of the Month; Until what day/mm/yy and click on Save. The task will run nightly and the payment will be generated on the 15th of every month with the date, gl account, value and status of posted.

Eg if rent is to be paid every 15th of every month and the value is always different every month, then you would set up the recurrance rule on the payment to be as follows:

Automatic UnPosted; Every Month; Day of the Month; Until what day/mm/yy and click on Save. The system will generate the payment and leave it with a status of Open so that you can make the appropriate changes to the bank payment before finalising it yourself.
