Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 Financial Management

Chapter 2. Managing Payments and Banks

The sales and purchase cycle does not finish after the goods are shipped, or the services are provided, and the invoice has been issued. After that, the company has to charge for items delivered and has to pay for services received.

The management of advanced payments, cash payments, or deferred payments is of vital importance for the company. In this chapter, we will learn how to do the following:

  • Manage different payment methods such as payment registrations
  • Handle incoming and outgoing payments in NAV
  • Import bank reconciliation

Managing due dates

When you start working with a new customer or vendor, you reach an agreement with them on when are invoices due. On the Payments tab of the customer and vendor card, you select the Payment Term tab that suits the agreement. After that, the program will automatically calculate the due date when you create an invoice.

Payment terms

The Payment Terms page contains one line for each set of Payment Terms the company uses. You can create as many payment terms as you need.

Every set of payment terms must contain a Due Date Calculation formula that the program uses together with the document date of the invoice to calculate the due date. In addition, you can also specify a Discount Date Calculation formula and a Discount % that will be used to calculate discounts on the basis of early payments.

Navigate to Departments/Financial Management/Receivables/Setup to see the full list, which is shown in the following screenshot:

Using credit cards and other payment methods

Different payment methods, used both by customers and vendors, can be defined at Departments/Financial Management/Receivables/Setup/Payment Methods.

Using credit cards and other payment methods

Note that both CASH and CREDITCARD have a Bal. Account No. defined. When you post an invoice with one of the payment methods selected, the system will create and post the payment against the invoice, so you don't have to manually do it later on. This is useful when the payment is done at the same time the invoice is raised.

When you use the credit card payment method in a sales order or invoice, you have to specify which credit card will be used. Credit cards are created on the customer card, through the Credit Cards - Credit Cards action found on the ribbon. Information commonly required for credit cards has to be filled in, such as the card type, the holder's name, the card number, and the expiry date. Once the credit card is selected, an authorization against the total invoice amount...

Posting payments

When you pay or are being paid, you need to register the transaction in your system, no matter what method you have used. To do so, you use the Cash Receipt Journal window or the Payment Journal window. Both work the same way, but the Payment Journal can also be used to print checks. To post a payment, you need to inform:

  • The customer that is paying you
  • The bank account that they used to make the payment
  • The invoice that is being paid
  • Consider the following example:

Imagine that customer 20000, Selangorian Ltd. has paid us for invoice 103032, which was due on 02/09/2017. Let's follow the steps needed to post the payment:

  1. Access the Cash Receipt Journal window from Journals/Cash Receipt Journals.
  2. Select the BANK section and double-click on it.
  3. Create a new line on the journal with the following information:

    Posting Date

    Document Type

    Document No.

    01/26/2017

    Payment

    This gets filled by a series number.

  4. To indicate the customer that is paying:

Customer balances

The balance is the total amount a customer owes you or you owe to a vendor. Customer and vendor balances can be seen on their card through a field called Balance (LCY). LCY stands for Local Currency. This means that, regardless of the currency used, amounts are always translated to your local currency.

To learn the details of the balance amount, you can click on the amount and the corresponding ledger entries will be shown. This can be seen in the following screenshot:

Customer balances

As you can see, customer 20000, Selangorian Ltd. has seven pending invoices. Two of them are already due (they are shown in red) and invoice 00-8 has been partially paid (note that the remaining amount is lower than the original amount).

Which invoice has been paid?

Customer 20000, Selangorian Ltd. has had many other transactions in the past. In the previous screenshot, we just viewed open transactions, but we can see them all by going back to the card and clicking on Ledger Entries in the Navigate...

Payment registration


The payment registration functionality is a unique method of handling customer receipts without creating entries through the Cash Receipt Journal. This functionality is designed to support users in tasks involved in balancing internal accounts, using actual cash figures to ensure effective collection from customers. To perform this, we have to perform the following steps:

  1. Go to Departments/Financial Management/Cash Management/ Payment Registration .

  2. Set up Payment Registration.

  3. Change Amount Received or Date Received: The Payment Registration window shows all open customer ledger entries. Normally, you only have to mark the entries, post them, and then you are done.

  4. Lump Payment: This covers multiple invoices for one customer with a single payment.

  5. Finance charge for overdue amounts: A Finance Charge Memo window can be created directly from the Payment Registration window by selecting the Finance Charge Memo function.

  6. Handling payment discounts: When a payment...

Payment reconciliation


A payment reconciliation journal is where we specify payments, either incoming from customers or outgoing to vendors, that have been recorded as transactions on your electronic bank site and that need to be applied to their related open entries.

You can perform the following main activities in the Payment Reconciliation Journal window:

  • Import files with bank transactions for payments that have been made to or from your bank account and then automatically apply the payments to their related open entries.

  • Review and manually apply payments that were applied automatically to wrong open entries, or were not applied at all, from the Payment Reconciliation Journal window, shown as follows:

Payment application rules


In the Payment Application Rules window, you set up rules to govern how payments should be automatically applied to their related open entries when you use the Apply Automatically function in the Payment Reconciliation Journal window. For this, refer to the following screenshot:

I always worked with software other than MS Dynamics. So to find out about functionality and getting familiarised with the settings and general principles of the software I found the book very useful. It does help if you know how accounting works and what finance department does, order to payment cycle namely.So if you never worked with MS Dynamics, load it to Kindle (preferably on tablet to see tables and images) and teach yourself basics and a bit beyond.I don't think the book is of any use to developers or more experienced users.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
