A supplier payment in Readysell indicates that you are paying suppliers for items that have been purchased. Â A payment can be made via direct deposit, cheque, eftpos or cash etc
Once a payment has been entered, it can then be allocated against the suppliers card, and it then reduces the balance owing by the supplier.
If you need to make a payment to a supplier before placing an order with them, you can insert a payment against the suppliers card and leave the payment unallocated until you receive the goods and invoice.
Once that is done, you can allocate the payment against the corresponding invoice ensuring the amount paid to the supplier equals the value of the invoice.

Test data screen shot below
Supplier early payment discount terms can be applied to a supplier payment automatically by entering the "Early Payment Discount Terms" and "Early Payment discount Percent" on the supplier setting tab.
Note: The value of the payment term that you insert into the field 'early payment discount term' applies to the 'date' of the open item not the 'due date' on the open item.
eg If you have Payment terms of 30 EOM and you have an invoice dated 1/9/2020 the due date of the invoice would be 1/10/2020.Â
If you insert an early payment discount term of 15 and a discount percent, that means if you pay this invoice 15 after the date of the open item and before the due date, the discount will apply.
