Prepaying a Vendor

Printing a Single Check When You Pay a Vendor

Use the A/P Payment Entry screen to:

Specify the amount of the prepayment.
Specify the number of the document to which you want the prepayment applied. You can identify the unposted document by its invoice number, PO number, or sales order number.

You can post the invoice or the prepayment first. Accounts Payable matches up prepayments when you post payment batches and when you post invoice batches.

If the prepayment correctly references the invoice number, PO number, or sales order number of an invoice, it is applied to the invoice no matter which document is posted first.
