Definition

The amount paid contains the total of the payments posted for a dispute case.

Use

The system calculates the amount paid for each line item using the following logic:

  • The posting of partial payments for a disputed receivable increases the amount paid.
  • Payments on account that are cleared during clearing are, as credits, distributed to the items (see amount credited).
  • The payment amount in the clearing document is determined per business partner and distributed equally to the cleared line items. The system uses the following formula to do this:

    Payment amount · (cleared amount of dispute case - assigned amounts of dispute case) : (total clearing amount - total of assigned amounts)

    The assigned amounts include:
    - Proportionate credits
    - Proportionate payments on account
    - Deductions in the form of new residual items
    - Cash discount

    Example
    You include an invoice for $1000 in a dispute case.
    You include an invoice for $2000 in an additional dispute case.
    With an incoming payment for $2200 you clear both invoices: The first for $1000 with creation of residual items for $300, and the second for $2000 with simultaneous clearing of an invoice-related credit for $200. The residual amount is posted to a G/L account. The following amounts arise for the first dispute case:

Payment amount     2200$
Cleared amount for the dispute case     1000$
Assigned amount for the dispute case     300$
Total clearing amount     1000$ + 2000$ = 3000$
Total of assigned amounts     300$ + 200$ = 500$

The system determines the amount paid in the first dispute case in accordance with the rule of three formula:
$2200 · ($1000 - $300) : ($3000 - $500) = $616

Therefore, the amount paid in the second dispute case is 1584$.

Example with promise to pay
If, in the example above, there is a promise to pay in the amount of $700 for the invoice for $1000, the system assumes that this promise is redeemed with the incoming payment. The amounts paid for both dispute cases are then determined as follows:

First dispute case: Amount paid = $700 (as promised)
Second dispute case: Amount paid = $1500 (residual payment amount, $2200 - $700)

Dependencies

The amount paid can only be determined if you have posted the clearing with the standard transaction for incoming payments.

The clearing of a partial payment with an invoice that is in the same dispute case does not change the amount paid. This was already updated when you posted the partial payment. However, if the partial payment was cleared with an invoice that was not in the same dispute case, the amount paid is reduced by the amount of the partial payment if the partial payment was assigned subsequently.
