Paying Invoices with Clearing Payments

Use the clearing payment method to account for intercompany expenses when you do not actually disburse funds through banks. For example, your Facilities group pays the telephone company for your telephone usage. You use a clearing payment to reimburse the Facilities group for your group's telephone expense. Generally, you do not generate a payment document with the Clearing payment method.
Payables accounts for the invoice and payment transactions in the same way it does for all invoice and payments
Creating Clearing Payments
Prerequisites
 i) Define a bank account with at least one payment document that uses a format defined with the Clearing Payment Method.
ii) Enter an invoice for the transaction, and enter Clearing as the payment method.

To create clearing payments:
1. In the Payments window select Manual in the Type field. Enter the Bank Account.
Enter a payment Document Name that uses the Clearing payment method. Enter the payment Document Number.
If you selected a multi-currency payment document, optionally change the payment Currency.
2. Enter either the Supplier Name or Number, and enter the Supplier Site.
Enter the payment Amount.
3. If necessary, enter or adjust other information:
If you are generating a payment document and you need to change the address, and your Allow Payment Address Change Payables option is enabled, adjust the address.
If you record voucher numbers either manually or using Sequential Numbering, enter or review voucher information.
If the payment currency is different from your functional currency, enter exchange rate information. For more information.
4. Choose Enter/Adjust Invoices to navigate to the Select Invoices window. Select the invoices you want to pay. The sum of the invoices must equal the payment Amount you entered. Optionally choose Invoice Overview to see detailed information about an invoice.
5. Save your work. Payables records your payment and updates the invoice(s) as paid.

Recording Price Corrections From the Invoice Workbench

Use a price correction when a supplier sends an invoice for a change in unit price for an invoice you have matched to a purchase order or receipt. Payables records and updates the invoiced unit price of previously matched purchase order shipments or distributions without adjusting the quantity billed so you can track price variances. Payables also updates the amount billed on the originally matched purchase order distributions. You can record a simple price correction by entering a credit or debit memo and matching to a purchase order matched invoice. However, we recommend that you record all price corrections by matching to a purchase order or receipt, as described in this document. To record a price correction for a purchase order shipment or purchase order distribution: 1. Enter the invoice. If you are recording a price increase, enter a Standard, PO Default, or Mixed invoice. If you select PO Default, then Payables prompts you to enter the PO Number. Payables then automatically def...
