Hello,
I have a few questions about Vendor Prepayment Process.
How should I to do this: Apply the prepayment amount to the purchase order. I didn't see any function button called Apply Prepayment.
The PO status shows: Pending Prepayment. How can it be changed to released? After applying the prepayment?
Please see the process below:
1. Create a purchase order with a prepayment
2. Post a prepayment invoice for the prepayment amount.
3. Send the prepayment amount to the vendor. (Create and Post Payment Journal, and print a check)
4. Apply the prepayment amount to the purchase order. (How to do this?)
5. After the vendor ships the order, create a purchase invoice for the total amount of the purchase order minus the prepayment amount.
6. Send the payment to the vendor and post the payment to the purchase order.
Thanks!

Great! That works! Thanks so much!
Hi Allen,
you simply click 'Release'. System will release the order and If the 'Check Prepayment' is ticked on the Purchases & Payables Setup, then before releasing order system will check if prepayment was paid.

Thanks Robertas!
After posting the Payment Journal for Prepayment Amount. But the PO status is still showing "Pending Prepayment".
If I post the PO to Receive and Invoice, the systems throws out an error "There is nothing to post".
If I try to create Whse. Receipt, I got another error indicating that The PO status should be "Released", but now it is "Pending Prepayment".
How should I change the status from "Pending Prepayment" to "Released"?
Hi Allen,
When you posted a prepayment invoice, system created a vendor ledger entry, the same as for a normal invoice. That means you post the payment via a journal to vendor account and apply to the prepayment invoice.
Hope that helps.
