When a company’s available funds are spread across several bank accounts, it may not be possible to pay all invoices from a single account. The Payment Distribution feature helps by allowing payments to be divided across multiple accounts based on available balances.

The Payment Distribution feature ensures that due invoices can be processed even when a single bank account does not have enough funds. Instead of exceeding an account’s limit - which could result in high fees or penalties - payments can be distributed across multiple accounts. This allows you to manage liquidity efficiently, pay vendors on time, and avoid unnecessary costs associated with overdrawing a single account.

This article explains how the feature works and how it supports day-to-day payment processing when funds are distributed across multiple accounts.

Generate the payment proposal

Start by generating the payment proposal as usual in Advanced Payment Suggestion mode. On the Payment Suggestions page, select the suggestion you want to use payment distribution for and on the action bar click Payment Distribution.

Review the Payment Distribution page

The Payment Distribution page displays:

• Top section with all payment headers and payment suggestion lines.
• Bottom section with the available bank accounts with balances and related information.
• FactBox in the right panel with additional information.
• 

Use this view to compare the total payment amount with available balances. For example, if BANK1 has a Min. Balance of €81,000 but the Balance After Payments field is €87,000, additional accounts will be needed.

Choose one of four distribution methods

1. Auto-distribute payments

   Automatically divide payment lines across available bank accounts to meet minimum balance requirements.

   Action: on the action bar, click Auto-Distribute Payments.

2. Change the bank account in the suggestion header - manually update the bank account for individual payment lines.

   Action: In the Suggestions section, navigate to a header and change the Bank Account No. field.

3. Move payments to a different bank account - select specific payment lines and move them to another bank account.

   Action:

   • In the Lines section, select the payment lines.
   • In the Available Bank Accounts section, select the target account.
   • On the action bar, click Move Payments to Selected Bank Account.

4. Move payments to an existing header - reassign payment lines to an existing payment header for the same vendor.

   Action:

   • Select one or more lines.
   • On the action bar, click Move Payments to Existing Header.
