Using Generic Prepay with Unpaid Product Bookings

 

Multiple Bookings may be added to a single Invoice, including an unpaid Product-specific Booking and a generic prepaid Booking. This is helpful when a customer prepays for a Product that may have to be changed before or at the time of delivery.

For Agvance to use an unpaid Product-specific Booking and a generic prepaid Booking together automatically on an Invoice line item, the Price Level on the generic Booking must be set to None.

Set Up the Generic Prepay Type

Add or edit the desired Prepay Type at Accounting / Setup / A/R / Generic Prepay Types. Select to apply prepay to All Products or only Products with these Classifications and choose Save.

Adding the Bookings
