Whenever posting receivables and payables by departments and/or cost centers (see settings in Administration Panel | Settings | Program Parameters | Financials |
General), we would usually like to close posted items by departments and cost centers. To put it differently, if there is departmetn and cost center are specified in outstanding item, you should also specify them in payment of outstanding item. This way you enable that the line is closed not only regarding the account, subject and linked document, but also for department and cost center.
Check Closing Outstanding Items by Departments and Cost Centers in Administration Panel | Settings | Program Parameters | Financials |
General.
However, the open documents list (documents for closing) is not changed having checked the afore-mentioned checkbox in the Administration Panel | Settings | Program Parameters | Financials |
General. What changes, though, is the way the information about the department and the cost center (from the outstanding item) is displayed in the line for posting payments.
