    Hey Mahmoud thanks for reply,

    but we not want to return the amount to customer. we want to save into another account (i.e. Overpayment Writeoffs 000-2120-00 , in customer master->account--> Overpayment Writeoffs )and whenever that customer buy again in future then we see the report also that how much amount is overpayment for particular customer via account number.

    Hope you understand what i am actually looking.

    Thanks !

    Hi Leslie  thanks for guide me,

    Actually i  big confused that in customer --> Accounts --> Overpayment writeoffs account ???

    1.) what is the use of this overpayment account and one more thing is that when we go into Routines-->Sales-->Write Off Documents--> and select the Writeoff Type = Overpayments what is the use of this overpayment.

    2.) Actually my requirement is that i want to insert overpayment amount  into the another account and i want to see particular customer wise how much amount is overpayment then i see the report that XYZ amount is overpayment and we whenever we need.

    reapply

    Hope you understand my actual requirement what i m looking.

    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Govind,

    When you are recording a cash receipt and your customer has overpaid by $50 (in your example) you want to credit a different GL account. Is that true? I do not believe you can direct the overpayment to a separate account. The Overpayment write-off account is used if you were to 'write-off' the overpayment and just take it into income and not give the customer credit for the amount. In your case, the credit would simply go to the Accounts Receivable account. Now, the unapplied amount (the overpayment) would show up on the detailed receivables trial balance. You can also go into the Apply Sales Documents window and apply the overpayment to a different document.

    Is this what you are trying to do? If you want the system to prompt you the next time you receive a payment from this customer, it will not. You could create a SmartList Favorite along with a reminder to alert you of which customers have unapplied payments on their accounts. You could easily determine the overpayments from your SmartList Favorite.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie

    Of course, custom programming in VBA or Dexterity can make anything happen.

    Have you considered the options provided Rubal, she wrote a very interesting article on How to enter a refund for customer in Microsoft Dynamics GP?
