02-How to create a prepayment invoice on a purchase order created as letter of credit in AX 2012 R2

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 256

Hi, I am unable to create prepayment invoice on a purchase order created as a letter of credit especially after PO confirmation, the system forces me to select a shipment number, so how can I create this prepayment invoice before posting the product receipt?

Also, I tried to create a prepayment invoice after posting the product receipt but this error appears (The total amount (7,200.00) in the invoice for order SAF-000078 is not equals the shipment amount (72,000.00) of letter of credit shipment 1.)

So, is the prepayment feature is really working with letter of credit or not?

    Hi André

    Thanks for reply, here are the steps in details

    1-Create new purchase order from procurement and sourcing --> common--> purchase orders--> all purchase orders

    2-change the bank document type to "letter of credit" from purchase order fast tab--> header view--> price and discount --> bank document type

    3-Adding my desired PO lines to the PO

    4-adding 10%  as a prepayment from purchase fast tab--> prepayment along with prepayment category ID and description

    5-confirm the purchase order.

    6-Go to manage fast tab --> letter of credit import collection and filling all required LC information

        a- bank document number

        b- facility type

        c- bank account

        d- date of receipt

        e- advising bank

        f- expiration date

        h- fetch purchase order shipment

        i- confirm the LC then close and exist from LC screen.

    At this stage both PO & LC are confirmed.

    7-create the prepayment invoice from purchase order --> invoice fast tab --> prepayment invoice

    Question 1

    based on the last step "number 7",  vendor invoice screen will open to complete all required information, one of its mandatory fields is the "shipment number"

    as long as you didn't post the product receipt, filed shipment number will contain no value to be selected, so is it a must to post a product receipt before posting the prepayment invoice? what if i need to post the prepayment invoice before the product receipt, what should i do?

    Question 2

    let's assume that I've posted a product receipt, and again i am about to post the prepayment invoice, at that time, the received shipment will be selected in field "Shipment number" , but while posting the invoice, the system issue this error (The total amount (7,200.00) in the invoice for order SAF-000078 is not equals the shipment amount (72,000.00) of letter of credit shipment 1.)

    hope to find my steps & concerns are presented clearly

    Hi Ahmed,

    I was confused by the "Letter of credit". This is related to a configuration key "Bank document" which is not enabled in my environments. So I can't help you right now with this question.

    Hi Ahmed Shemais

    I hope you doing well,am also facing the same problem in prepayment through letter of credit,I cant able to select the shipment no.

    I have found shipment no is not saving in vendinvoiceinfotable while enabling the prepayment.So how to achieve this in standard functionality.

    Have you found solution?kindly share it.Thanks in advance

    I think you cannot apply prepayment when you have bank document as LC. So better have advance payment and settle that advance with the remaining(Invoice amount - LC Amount) invoice amount.
