Field help (PYHAMTLIN2)

Specify the paid amount corresponding to the payment line, expressed in the payment currency.

Only payment attributes of the Bank <=> BP type can affect the Amount posted column, expressed in payment currency.
To be able to save the entry of a payment, the sum of the posted amounts of the payment must be equal to the amount of the payment specified in the BP amount field in the header information.
If it is not the case, the Unbalanced payment window is automatically displayed. This window displays the header amount, the amount of lines and the variance amount.
You can choose the terms for correcting this variance:

• BP amount adjustment: this choice applies when errors of entry are recorded on the header amount. This amount is automatically modified in order to include this variance.
  
• Rounding variance: this choice applies to cases where the sum of the line converted amounts is different from the BP amount. Two additional 'technical' posting lines are automatically added to the payment corresponding to the generation of two rounding variance entry lines:
  
• One line is created on a payment attribute of the Bank <=> BP type so as to get the required correspondence between the entered BP amount and the sum of the converted amounts related to posted invoices. This attribute is characterized by the value of the PAYRNDCDA1 - Bank - BP rounding variance parameter (TRS chapter, PAY group).
  
• One line is created on an Account <=> BP payment attribute in order to balance the BP account and record the variance in the revenue or expense account. This attribute is characterized by the value of the PAYRNDCDA2 - Account - BP rounding variance parameter (TRS chapter, PAY group).
  
• Manual correction: this choice is used to go back to the screen modification mode in order to be able to modify the amount yourself.
