O/E Prepayments Screen
If you use Payment Processing and you selected a payment code that uses the payment type SPS Credit Card, the Charge and Quick Charge buttons become available after you click Add.
You can process a credit card payment by clicking either Charge or Quick Charge. The difference between these buttons is the amount of information you must enter to complete the transaction:
- Charge. Click this button to open the Process Credit Card screen and begin processing a credit card payment. You must enter all required information for the transaction.
- Quick Charge. Click this button to process a credit card payment without entering any information.
Note: To use this button, information required for the transaction must already be entered in your system. For more information, see About Quick Processing for Credit Card Transactions.
Note: After you process a credit card payment, the Charge button is replaced with the Void button.
If the document for which you are adding a prepayment is job related, click the Jobs button to open the O/E Project and Job Costing Apply Details screen and distribute payment amounts to job details. For more information, see O/E Project and Job Costing Apply Details Screen .
Note: The prepayment amount on a job-related order can exceed the document total. However, the sum of the prepayment amounts for individual details must match the prepayment total.

If you use Payment Processing, the Void button becomes available after you process a credit card payment.
Click Void to cancel a prepayment.
Note: You can void a prepayment in Order Entry only if you have not posted the document, and only if the prepayment has not been settled in Paya. (Payments are typically settled within 48 hours.) If you have posted the document, you must void the prepayment in A/R Receipt Entry.
Enter the bank code for the bank for this receipt batch. Each batch must specify a single bank.
If you use multicurrency accounting:
- If you are adding payments to an existing batch, the program displays the default currency of the batch, and you cannot change it.
- If you are creating a new batch, you can select a currency that is accepted by the bank you select.
If you are creating a new batch, specify the currency in which you want to add prepayments to the batch. You must select a currency that is used by the specified bank.
If you select an existing batch, Sage 300 defaults the receipt currency to the default currency specified for the existing batch, and you cannot change the currency. (You can change the batch default currency in Accounts Receivable if necessary.)
If you want to view or edit the bank rate for the currency, click the Zoom button beside the Currency field to open the O/E Bank Rate screen. For more information, see O/E Bank Rate Screen.
Select the payment code for the prepayment. Payment codes are the payment methods that you have defined in Accounts Receivable to identify the types of payments you process (such as cash, checks, and credit cards).
If you use Payment Processing and want to process or pre-authorize a credit card transaction for a document, you must select a payment code that uses the payment type SPS Credit Card.
Tip: Click the Payment Code Finder to see a list of payment codes and associated payment types.
If you use Payment Processing, select the processing code to be used for the transaction. This code specifies the merchant ID, bank, and currency that will be used when processing the transaction.
Note: The bank and currency you specify for a credit card transaction must match the information specified for the processing code.
Select a date for the prepayment. Sage 300 displays the session date by default.
Sage 300 uses the date you enter to select the default fiscal year and period to display.
Note: In Accounts Receivable, the receipt date is used to assign the prepayment to aging periods on statements and reports, and to update statistics in customer records and salesperson records.
Overview
Use the O/E Prepayments screen to enter, modify, and delete prepayments with an order, shipment, or invoice, or to process or void a credit card prepayment if you use Payment Processing.
Before entering a prepayment, you should determine which Accounts Receivable receipt batch to use for the prepayment.
Prepayments are applied to transactions as follows:
- Prepayments entered with orders do not reduce the amount of the next invoice you create. Instead, they are matched to invoices when they are posted in Accounts Receivable (using the order number).
- Prepayments entered with invoices immediately reduce the amount due on the invoices sent to customers, and are matched to invoices posted to Accounts Receivable.
The order prepayment total is displayed on the Totals tab of the O/E Invoices screen, so you can easily determine if there is an outstanding balance.
Note: You can enter multiple prepayments for an order, but only one prepayment for an invoice.
Credit Card Prepayments
If you use Payment Processing, you can use the O/E Prepayments screen to perform the following tasks:
- Processing a Credit Card Prepayment
- Capturing a Pre-authorized Credit Card Payment
- Voiding a Credit Card Prepayment (if it has not been settled in Paya).
To enable the Charge, Quick Charge, and Void buttons on this screen, you must select a payment code that uses the payment type SPS Credit Card before adding the prepayment.
Tip: Click the Payment Code Finder to see a list of payment codes and associated payment types.
Job-Related Prepayments
If the document for which you are adding a prepayment is job related, click the Jobs button to open the O/E Project and Job Costing Apply Details screen and distribute payment amounts to job details.
For more information, see O/E Project and Job Costing Apply Details Screen .
Note: The prepayment amount on a job-related order can exceed the document total. However, the sum of the prepayment amounts for individual details must match the prepayment total.
