Invoice Purchase Order with Down Payments brings wrong Due Amount

Former Member

Hello,

I am working on 8.81 PL08 environment and I have this situation:

I issue a Purchase Order and then a Down Payment Request which I pay. When I go to invoice the purchase order the down payment and payment due fields on the invoice are correct.

In the case I issue another down payment request and for the same Purchase Order which closes the amount of invoice then when I go to the invoice and choose Copy From the same fields are not right.

If I go to Purchase Order and choose Copy To the amounts are correct.

So the situation is like this:

- Down Payment part of Purchase Order. Due Payment to invoice correct

- Down Payment full amount of Purchase Order. Choose Copy To from Purchase Order to Purchase Invoice. Due Payment correct.

- Down Payment full amount of Purchase Order. Choose Copy From from Purchase Invoice. Due Payment wrong.

Has anyone seen this before?

Thank you,

Gerasimos

Hi Gerasimos,

100% down-payment may have problem from time to time. That is due to the fact it against the common sense of down payment.

Thank you Gordon,

However I cannot deny to the user that wants to apply that that there is a business case where the vendor demands the invoice to be paid all in front (maybe one installment with the Purchase Order and one with the Receipt of the Goods). So, I would expect this to be covered.

I noticed another thing: When I opened the Down Payments screen on Invoice (where Down Payments are listed in order to choose them) there is a column "Open Net Amount" which brings the correct amount. However, in the column "Net Amount to Draw" there is a wrong figure and that makes the mistake.

Now I can see that I can wright the correct amount to column "Net Amount to Draw" but still I cannot understand why a user should do that.

Do you have reserved invoice option in your localization? If you have, that is a better solution for 100% down payment.

Yes we have tested and the Accounting behind it was not exactly what we wanted, so I am trying to avoid it. Thus, I would prefer DP Request

How about Down Payment invoice then?

Sorry, down payment invoice is what I have tried. I have not tried reserve invoice.

I will do so. However, we have already built the procedure on DP Request so if there are any ideas on that it will be helpful. Is this a wrong setup from myself or a system behaviour that will be changed?

I will also try reserve invoice.

Thank you Gordon
