You can select transactions for settlement using the four scenarios that are described in this topic. The scenarios that are available to you depend on the way that Microsoft Dynamics AX is configured for your organization, and the scenario that applies is determined by the company account that you select for the following companies that are involved in the payment settlement process:

  • Current company – The company account that you are currently using in Microsoft Dynamics AX.

  • Payment company – The company that is generating the payment.

  • Invoice company – The company that generated the invoice.

In each scenario, you settle a payment with one or more invoices. If a settlement involves multiple companies, applicable due-to and due-from accounts are updated, based on the intercompany relationships that are set up for the affected companies in the form.

Single-company settlement

In this scenario, the current company when you perform the settlement is the same as both the payment company and the invoice company.
