How to Track Overpayment Received from Customers in Business Central

Hello,

My client requires a solution to track overpayments received from customers against specific posted sales invoices for reporting purposes. As a functional consultant, I need to guide our technical consultant on how to identify and retrieve overpayment details from the system, specifically from the Customer Ledger Entries.

Scenario:

  • A customer makes a payment via the Cash Receipt Journal.
  • The posted invoice amount is ₹100, but the customer pays ₹125 against the invoice.
  • This results in an additional payment of ₹25, which needs to be tracked as an overpayment.

Client Requirement:
The client wants to:

  1. Track and identify the overpayment received (₹25 in this case) against the specific posted sales invoice in Customer Ledger Entries.
  2. Reflect this information in a custom report for better visibility.

I would appreciate guidance on:

  • How to identify overpayments in Customer Ledger Entries.
  • Any specific fields or methods that could help track and segregate such entries.
  • Suggestions on handling such cases functionally to streamline reporting for overpayments.

Looking forward to your inputs.

Thank you!

    In the customer ledger entries the payment line would have a value of 25 in the remaining amount field. Its status would be open as well. You would also see this entry in the customer statement or AR aging report.
