Parameter type: Boolean

PaymentIsNet

It specifies whether Distribution Management should generate one or two bank account transactions and payments for a third-party agreement invoice when the invoice's status is changed from Approved to Unpaid.

For False value, two bank account transactions are generated with two payments:

• One transaction with source account = Settlement Account and destination account = Reconciliation Account with the value of Total Amount To Recover;
• Another transaction with source account = Reconciliation Account and destination account = Settlement Account with the value of Total Amount To Pay.

For True value, Distribution Management calculates the difference between Total Amount To Recover and Total Amount To Pay. Only one bank account transaction is generated and only one payment, representing the non-zero value between the Total Amount To Recover and the Total Amount To Pay, as follows:

• If Total Amount To Recover - Total Amount To Pay > 0, a new bank account transaction is generated with source account = Settlement Account and destination account = Reconciliation Account, and a payment is generated for the invoice.
• If Total Amount To Recover - Total Amount To Pay = 0, a bank account transaction is generated, and the transaction's status changes to Paid.
• If Total Amount To Recover - Total Amount To Pay < 0, a new bank account transaction is generated with source account = Reconciliation Account and destination account = Settlement Account, and a payment is generated for the invoice.

When the payments are approved, the invoice's status becomes Paid.
