You start the Payment Suggestion in a Payment Journal. Depending on which suggestion you start, the Vendor Payment Suggestion, Customer Payment Suggestion, or Employee Payment Suggestion window opens.
The parameters define how the open entries are determined for the payment suggestion, how they are grouped by customer, vendor, or employee, and which data is written to the journal lines.
The following section describes the available parameters:

The payment suggestion only considers entries whose due date is before or on this date.
Only entries for which no value is entered in the field On Hold are taken into account.
