    In this case, Prepayment Invoice should be the ideal option.

    Book the Prepayment Invoice with 100% amount (or any Ad-Hoc Amount). Later you can start shipping / invoicing the items one by one, as needed.

    Hope this helps.

    If hospital first receives the cash for a treatment, why they do not post it as a prepayment? This will be normal payment transaction. Then, you will post "Ship & Invoice" option when the actual shipment will take place. The printform of the invoice can be generated from unposted SO. What is the idea to post invoices without shipment first in this scenario?

    Angel,

    For that use the prepayment functionality in navision

    Hi Suresh thanks for help

    This is a customer requirement, it is a hospital that first recieve cash for a treatment, only after that, they start to ship items to patients

    Hi Alexander

    I have tried that option but Nav sends an error "Qty to invoice must be equal to -1, current value is 0"

    There is a workaround, the idea is to post two additional lines to SO with G/L Account type:

    For first one, set Qty to Ship = 1 and Qty to invoice = 1

    For the second line set Qty to ship = -1 and qty to invoice = 0

    In Standard Navision you cannot do this, you need to ship to invoice which will affect inventory, we can customize to meet your requirements but let us know why they want to do this ?

    Vishal, yes, you are right, that is true for standard W1 version.

    We have customers who uses this without items being shipped, looks like I'm too long with that customization :-).

    Alexander,

    You would not be able to invoice Items directly, without shipping them first.
