We are running an automatic payment program for our particular company code where the invoices and the payment of the same is made in one company code only.
But what will be the settings required in the automatic payment program where the invoices are
made in multiple company codes and the payment is made through a single company code.
In this topic, we won’t focus on the basic normal automatic payment program but the major focus is on the required configuration needed for such kind of scenarios.
Taking an example of 3 company codes i.e. 9000, 9012, and 9015.
The invoices will be made in the company code 9012 and 9015 and the collective payment will be made from the company code 9000.
