Dear all,
Have a good day.
 
I'd like to ask you, how to process the vendor prepayment journal in D365 Business Central through Journals not PO documents.
 
Kind regards,

    Hi, As far as I know, this cannot be done in the standard.
    You may consider creating a payment directly as pre-payment.
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    Hi Ibrahim,
     
    although technically possible, it simply is a bad idea from a user perspective: it creates a long list of open ends.
    Unless you are prepared to work out a customization for each and every open end... 
     
    your scenario:
    - create a PO for a vendor requiring a prepayment  (open end n°1), it does not show on the PO.
    - open journal
    - create a manual payment for the vendor    (-> An open Vendor Ledger Entry will be created)  (open end n°2)
    - (open end n°3) there is no control over the release-status: there is no link whatsoever between the payment and the PO. The link between the PO and the payment resides in peoples' heads and e-mails only.
    - Upon receipt of the invoice, (here comes open end n°4), users will need to manually apply the payment to the Vendor Invoice
    - open end n°5 : what if this is a recurring situation for this vendor... and there is more than one open 'prepaid' amount. How will users be able to identify which payment to apply to which open PO?
