Thanks. I also thought about replicating customer credit accounts/billing account on the vendor side. I think it might work using vendor billing account as a payment type and applying it against the invoice. Thoughts?
It seems to work properly on the customer side -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Vendor Credits From: Oleg Andreyev <[email protected]> Date: Wed, January 03, 2018 3:55 am To: [email protected] James, My solution doesn't imply any special payment types. I thought about this too but did not find an acceptable solution. I speak about a special type of invoice for vendor credit. Imagine you have original purchase invoice A for $1000. You found real quantity is less and should credit vendor for $100. So, you create vendor credit invoice B for -$100. When you ready to pay the vendor you create a new payment amount A - B = $900 and apply it to invoice B and then to invoice A. The order is important. After this, both invoices have open amount 0.00 and you are able to set them to Paid. This scheme requires another change if you pay using checks. We need to refer both invoices in remittance area. Beside new invoice type, you need also new invoice item type because it is necessary to configure target GL account. It's just a brief of my solution that I did in the past. You may find your own way. On Mon, Jan 1, 2018 at 10:08 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Oleg - Do you think we can create a payment type of Vendor Credit > and Payment Type of "On Account".
