Advance Payment. Application Method

Hi All, Part 1 : I am getting the following error, while applying Invoices against advance payment recd / paid. “You are not allowed to apply and post an entry to an entry with earlier posting date”. How to apply all invoices to single advance payment? Any settings need to be done? Part 2 : I need a clarificaiton on this? Way to Apply invoice against advance payment(s). Keep your cursor on the last (latest date) invoice - set applying entry, rest all entries set applies to id (F9). now you will be able to post the application. Is there is any other way? Try it out for part 1 & Part 2. Payment Made on 1st of May - 1000$ Invoice Recd from supplier on 3rd of may - 200$ Invoice Recd from supplier on 5th of may - 300$ Invoice Recd from supplier on 7th of may - 500$ How you will apply this payment to this invoices. Set Applying-Entry(shift F9) - Mark it to Payment line Set Applies-to-Id (F9) - now mark it to all the invoices. when you are trying to mark the invoices, you will get a warning message. “You are not allowed to apply and post an entry to an entry with earlier posting date”.

Hi ramathmani, this is standard behaviour for Navision 4.0, and has (IMO) good reasons. If you were allowed to apply like you want to do (Payment against invoices with later posting dates than the invoice) then there could be (in case of rounding, currency-related effects and suchlike) time-related differences between the G/L account balance and the customer/vendor balance. This happens in Navision 3.70 and it is not fun to explain this to an auditor. The correct way to do this would be: select Invoice 1 as applying entry select the advance payment post the application select Invoice 2 as applying entry select the advance payment post the application select Invoice 3 as applying entry select the advance payment post the application This works well in Navision 4.0 und gets the desired results. withe best regards Jens
