Mapping of payment methods

In BaseLinker, each order has its own payment method. Since BaseLinker does not have a dictionary of payment methods, and the field is a text field (anything can be typed into it, e.g. TRANSFER, Transfer, Payment by bank transfer), it is very important to standardize the use of codes in BaseLinker.

Once the codes are properly standardized, they need to be mapped to the payment methods in Business Central in order to use them. An alternative option is to ignore the BaseLinker payment method codes and use those derived from the customer template generated during order processing (see Order Processing).

To enable BaseLinker payment methods support:

  1. Select the search icon Search in the upper right corner of the Business Central system, then type BaseLinker Setup and click the link.
