Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, Enterprise Edition

Online Invoice Payments

Sana allows to accept payments on open invoices through a payment provider directly from a web store. Business customers can pay multiple outstanding invoices at the same time. Online payments of the open invoices from a Sana web store are seamlessly integrated with the sales order processing and accounts receivable modules of Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition.

For more information about how to pay invoices from a Sana web store and online invoice payments setup, see 'Online Invoice Payments'.

Payments from customers must be registered in Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition. There is a payment journal, which can be used to post payment transactions to ledger, bank, customer, vendor, project and fixed assets accounts.

If you allow your business customers to pay their invoices with automatic payment journal creation, then when a customer pays the invoice, the payment journal will be created automatically in Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition, and the payment will be registered on the required account set for the web store in Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition. If a customer pays several invoices at once, for each invoice a separate line will be created in the payment journal in Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition.

A business customer can have a related invoice account in Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition. It may be that the order is created by one customer and shipped to this customer, but the invoice should be sent to a different customer. In this case the payment journal will be posted to the customer's invoice account.

When the payment journal has been created, an accountant can post the journal in Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition to capture the payment in the journal against the invoice.

To accept invoice payments from a Sana web store, in Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition click: Modules > Webshop > Common > Webshops. Select the webshop and set up the Payment processing settings. These settings are used to create a payment journal in Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition, when a customer pays the invoice, and to post the payment transaction to a certain account.

Field	Description
Offset company	Select the legal entity where the payment transactions on open invoices will be offset.
Offset account type	Select the account type for the offset transaction to the customer payment. This is typically the Bank account type for customer payment journal lines.
Offset account	Select the account for the selected offset account type.

When a customer pays an invoice from a Sana web store, and a record is created in the payment journal in Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition, all values of the payment processing settings from the Webshops form will be automatically copied to the payment journal.

To see open customer invoices in Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition, click: Modules > Accounts receivable > Invoices > Open customer invoices.

To see invoice payments that you receive from customers in Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition, click: Modules > Accounts receivable > Payments > Payment journal. Here you can see all payment journals created for invoices paid by the customers from a Sana web store, and you can post payment transactions to the required account.

Select the payment journal and click Lines. In the Customer payments window you can see the payments received from the customer that are registered on the same account which is set for the web store.

Only when the payment journal is posted in Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition, the payment status of the invoice in the Sana web store will be set to Already paid.

If you allow your business customers to pay their invoices with manual payment journal creation, then when a customer pays the invoice, an accountant should manually handle such payments and create a payment journal in Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition.

A sales invoice can have a due date in Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition. It is calculated based on the terms of payment set on the Customers form, on the Payment defaults FastTab. If you have entered the terms of payment for the customer, Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition will use the appropriate payment term when you invoice the customer. If the invoice is not paid within the due date, it will expire, meaning that a customer will not be able to pay this invoice.
