How to make a dummy payment in Oracle Payables, and which setting is necessary in bank account creation?
------- --
Is there anything also as a Dummy Invoice?
Thank you.

What is the context for dummy payment? Video name? Thanks.

Sometimes credit memos are show in outstanding of supplier so to knock it out we need dummy bank or zero payment bank.so this is also called as dummy payment.

Hasan, I do not need to be able to name a video here, in order to ask the above question. You have covered "Payment" in Oracle Payables, and I just wanted to know the How and the Concept behind making a dummy payment. That is all!
That is the concept and functionality of making a zero dollar payment, when a situation demands it. That is what I am calling "dummy payment".

Gavrobere,

Sorry you misunderstood me. I dont remember the content of my videos, off hand. I need the context so that I could answer your question as this term is used loosely with different meanings.

One scenario in much dummy payments would be made is when a client wants to migrate subledger data from legacy to target. You import invoices and mark them paid by creating payments. These payments would be dummy in the sense that invoices are already paid but you are marking them as paid.

If you could point out the video then I can go and watch the video to find out the exact context I used this term in.

Thank you. This is what I am trying to understand. Now, you have given us some examples of the concept behind making "Dummy Payments". That is great!
Now, could you please show us the steps to actually making zero dollar payments for invoices in Oracle Payables?
Payments > Entry > Payments ... Or
Payments > Entry > Payments Manager ...
How, from here, do we make zero dollars payments for invoices with positive amounts?

In the example above (importing of subledger data from legacy), we will make payments for actual amounts (not zero dollar).
The payment is dummy as we are doing it simply to mark invoices as paid.
They are already paid in legacy system.

So Hasan, if I understand you, given your above example, we carry out the payment process as normal to the end, except that we do not actually print the payment format output (cut checks) to send out to the vendors.
I hope this is what you mean.

If the above is right, where do you stop when you are making an electronic payments (that is through the banks)? Do you complete the process in Oracle Payables and then phone your Treasury department asking them not to send payment files to the banks?

Yes, this is what I mean.
Invoices are usually paid by checks/wire (actual checks are not printed) when the purpose is simply to mark them as paid.
