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 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?

    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.
