DRQ payment on account with reference to an invoice

[Former Member]

Hello,

In SBO2005A there was a problem with the open balance BP concerning the next situation

create an in- or outgoing payment by

1. select the customer/vendor

2. Select an invoice (example invoice 100 EUR)

3. go to moneybag and enter an amount of 99 EUR

4. Try to save the payment.

5. system will give you a message the amount to be paid is not equals the invoice SAVE payment

So far so good.

Now when you save the invoice also in SBO2007A you will save the invoice with reference to that payment and the mark: payment on account will be active. the only improvement from SBO2005A and SBO2007A is that at least the balance is correct ( this scenario is one of the fixes when upgrade to sbo2007A reconciliation errors).

In my opinion this is wrong behavior. One way or the other. A payment is with reference to an invoice and then it would be in this case a partial payment or the payment is on account and then there should be no reference to that invoice.

In my opinion the correct behavior must be after saving the payment: error message: please create a partial payment or select payment on account because selected amount and payment amount are not equal.

Hi Eddy,

if the remaining EUR1.00 is not going to be paid & the company wants to write it off, you might explore whether the over/underpayment functionality is of any use to you.

Please see this EoP Wiki page which also explains this functionality:

Hello Kerstin,

I know this functionality and It could be usefull when the over under payment is just a small amount.

But in principal even with this functionality in my opinion a payment could be only

a payment with reference to one or more invoices or a payment on account and not both as it is now in the current SBO.

The current behavior is wrong:

Based on the scenario as described above the payment should be: the mark: payment on account YES.

and no relation to the invoice(s).

Please post your DRQ on this forum:

That is the right place for DRQ.

Hi Eddy,

You need to change total payment to 99, available in selected invoice line.

Hello Samir Gandhi,

Thanks for your quick anwser.

I know this is the way to create partial payments as you are mention. But what if a user does not do this. It happens sometimes. also the user receives a warning after try to add the posting which is saying that the amount to be paid and the selected amount is not equals. when you select YES on that question it should be either a payment on account or a payment with reference to an invoice and not both as it works now.

With regards,
