AP Remittance Designer

Navigator > Setup > Accounts Payable > Remittance Designer

Use the Remittance Designer to design your own Remittance Advice or open and modify an existing Remittance Advice design. Computer Printed Cheques are Remittance Advices with an additional cheque section. To design a remittance document quickly, start with an existing remittance design, save it with a different name, then modify it. Sample remittance designs are installed with the Accredo server install, and are also available on the Accredo website.

Note: If you modify designs that are provided with Accredo it is important to save them with different names, as when Accredo updates are installed, the designs can be overwritten.

The AP Remittance designer is based on the Report Designer and has similar functionality. Full report design facilities including MaxBasic are available. Usually a remittance document consists of:

Header band showing details of the creditor.
Repeating Detail band for transactions allocated to the payment.
Footer band for totals.

Iterators are available to create sub-sets of records. Bands are selected for the iterators. Iterators iterate through the records associated with the document. You can filter and sort the iterators to control which records are included and in which order.

Name	Iterators determine the records that are shown in the report. Available Iterators are: Transactions - Transactions allocated against the cheque / remittance.
Bands	The Bands in the report to apply the iterator to.
Sort Order	Optionally select fields to sort records in the iterator.
Filter	Optionally select fields to further filter the iterator.

Objects available in the Remittance Designer in addition to the standard objects are:

Creditor	Fields from the Creditor record.
Contact	Fields from the Contact records.
itTransactions	Properties from the Transactions iterator.
Transaction	Fields from the transaction record.

Functions available in addition to the standard MaxBasic functions are:

Environment/ ChequeNo	The number for the current cheque. This is passed in by Accredo at the start of a cheque run and incremented for each successive page. This is only useful for Cheque documents.
Environment/ GstRegistered	A Boolean function that returns True if a GST Basis of invoice or payments is set in GST Settings.
String/WordAmount (number)	Returns a string containing number converted to an amount in words. This is mainly used on cheques.

Sample AP Remittance designs are:

APRemit.pfd - example AP Remittance.
APCheque.pfd - example AP Computer Printed Cheque.

To use documents downloaded from the website, ensure your document designer is the latest version.
