  The production and processing of Commercial Papers (also known as Letters of Credit) is catered for in both Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. Commercial Papers can be generated from a number of sources, including sales invoices/statements and purchase invoices/statements.

The functionality supports payment by instalments, charges for overdue papers, forbidden due dates by customer, and variable print formats. Papers can be generated as either ‘accepted’ or ‘rejected’, and after presentation to bank can be classed as ‘honoured’ or ‘dishonoured’ based on the payment receipt date. Automatic honouring of commercial papers on presentation to the bank can be defined by Payment Type.

Both local and foreign transactions are supported, including triangulation rules and dual currency processing for the transition phases of EMU.

Flexible General Ledger integration is provided by payment type. These controls include the letter status that should generate postings, and which General Ledger accounts should be used for a particular payment type and status combination.

An optional risk period can be defined for each payment type which represents the number of days following the due date of a commercial paper during which time it may be rejected by the bank and therefore dishonoured. The value of commercial papers ‘at risk’ is tracked throughout the customer credit validation process within Accounts Receivable and Sales Order Processing.
