Customer Payment Application via Excel

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by MashaSimonian 25

I know how to post a customer receipt journal via Excel and apply it to an existing invoice when adding a new payment. Is it possible at all to create a payment application for posted invoices and payments via Excel? A client receives payments first, then enters invoices and leaves payments unapplied. They go back later to Customer Ledger Entries, select the payment, go to Actions - Apply Entries, enter Applies-to ID, and Post Application. This way they have to go customer by customer, one at a time. When posting new customer payments via a journal from Excel, I can have several entries for multiple customers in one spreadsheet. Can a similar thing be done for payment application?

    Hi Mashasimonian,

    If client receive first payment then i suggest on sales order define payment method with has Boolean ticked as Use for invoicing. also define bal. acc. type and bal. acc. no. for that line.(this need to create on payment method card page) So once user post sales invoice against that sales order system auto post payment for this this invoice. 

    Also for payment journal if 1 payment line have only 1 invoice in that case ask user to fill apply to type invoice and applies to document no. column details in excel and upload same on payment journal. you can post them.

    But if you have multiple invoice line against single payment line then you need to create separate excel to upload applies to document no. Please ask you partner about this requirement. 


    Thanks & Regards,
    Manan

    Could you not use the “apply to oldest” option on the customer? That way if you do payment or invoice is always finds the oldest to apply it to.

    Otherwise it is a modification which is more than likely achievable
