Message Text

At least one down payment request is cleared by partial payment

Help Document

Diagnosis

You have selected a chain type in which partial invoices are posted as down payment requests.

A down payment request is considered cleared, even when only partial payment has been made. This means it is no longer possible to post another down payment for this down payment request. Therefore the system creates a residual item for a down payment request for which only a partial amount has been put down as down payment.

In this down payment chain at least one partial invoice is cleared by a partial payment, which is posted as a down payment request.

System Response

Procedure

You can post the outstanding difference as a residual item immediately or on the next down payment request.

• If you require the difference amount immediately, select Post Residual Item
• The system creates a new down payment request for the residual item. The system enters the difference amount. The system copies all further data, such as posting date and cash discount terms from the partially paid down payment request, for which the residual item was created.
• If you require the difference amount on the next down payment request, do not select the above-mentioned function.
• If you post a new down payment request later, although residual items still exist, the system posts down payment requests to the residual items available. The down payment request amount entered is the amount of the residual item. All further data is copied from the partially paid down payment request, for which the residual item is created.
• If you post a final invoice as the next transaction, the system does not post residual items, although residual items are still available. The down payment requests and residual items which are still open are cleared in the final invoice.
