Setting up Payment Methods
Payment methods define the way you would like your customers to pay you and how you would like to pay your vendors. The payment method can vary for each customer or vendor. You can assign a payment method to a customer or vendor so that the method you have chosen will be automatically assigned to sales and purchase documents you create for said vendor or customer.
To set up payment methods, please proceed as follows:
- Use the quick search (ALT+Q) to find the page Payment Methods.
- To set up a new payment method, click on New in the menu bar. A blank line is added to the table.
- Fill in the following fields:
