Requirement to 'pay' invoices directly to suspense accounts

Content

Hi there

The customer has a requirement to 'pay' invoices directly to suspense accounts. This means, instead of reconciling the payment with a bank statement, the customer has certain invoices which are not paid (no cash out) and these settled against a suspense account.

The payment option for the BU in payables options has been set up with the option account for payment when the payment is issued. The cash account on the clearing bank account has been defined using the suspense account. With these settings the accounting is correct, however the payments remain negotiable. Is there any other way to properly settle payables invoices against a clearing account?
