Posted on by 82

Greetings,

Please how do i prevent the system from being able to overpay on a supplier invoice. for example if the open ammount to be paid as suugested by the invoice document is 100 and i change it to 120. the system posts the document with no error or warning.

How can i set a control for this?

I have the same question (0)

    Hello Kim,

    Thank you for your response.

    I change amount on the payment journal amount field.

    Please can i get more details on the checks that will not allow a vendor invoice to be a positive amount?

    Where are you changing the amount? I don't think the system is overpaying the invoice rather it's paying the invoice and leaving $20 on the payment entry to be applied elsewhere. There are checks that will not allow a vendor invoice to be a positive amount.

    Thank you for this.

    However even after activating the payment tolerance warning and setting tolerance at 0% (i.e. there shouldn't be any difference), I'm still not getting any warning.

    is there something else I need to do?

    like the previous response suggested, you could check the general ledger setup under the below fastab if there is payment tolerance set up correctly. If it is blank, system might not care if the payment exceed the proper amount.
