Prepayment invoice settlement in Business Central Cloud

(5) ShareShare

Posted on by MJ-18121112-0 10

Hi,

I have a question regarding prepayment invoices and their settlement in Business Central Cloud.

The scenario is as follows:

  • We issue a prepayment invoice for 100% of the order value.

  • The customer then pays this prepayment invoice.

  • In the following months, the prepayment is settled in different amounts.

I would like to be able to work with the Prepmt. Amt. to Deduct Excl. VAT field, but I am getting the  error message like in screenshot (attached)

At the moment, based on my findings, it seems that it is only possible to settle the prepayment by using the Qty. to Ship field.

Is there any solution in Business Central Cloud that could cover this use case?

Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hello,
     
     After posting a 100% prepayment, you cannot manually change Prepmt. Amt. to Deduct Excl. VAT. Prepayment settlement is only supported via Qty. to Ship, and BC calculates the deduction automatically. Settling prepayments by arbitrary amounts is not supported in standard SaaS. Alternatives are splitting deliveries/orders or avoiding 100% prepayment.
    Regards,

    As far as I know, this is impossible without customization, but customization also carries risks.
    PS: Dynamics 365 Business Central: Can we skip/ignore field validation errors?
     
    Thanks.

    There is no standard solution for partial prepayment settlement by amount—customization or workaround processes are required.
