Advance payment from customers

Hi all , please tell me how to handle advance payments reced. from customers . Lets say that a sales order is present for the customer. When I use the cash rect.journal,I need to apply the advance amount to the sales order. As of now, only invoice,payment,credit memo,refund can be applied. Kindly help. thanx ramya

I think you can just post the payment without any application. This will leave your customer with a negative balance. Then you apply the order to the payment to have both entries closed. This, really, is not a question for the Developer Forum… so I hope I’m right.

Nelson, I agree, this does not belong here. Ramya, please use the end user forum for these questions. but … on the sales order table are two fields that indicate the applies to type and no. enter the type payment, and the check no or document no of the pre payment. when you post the order, the pre-payment will be automatically applied. your nsc will be able to help you with this function, since it has been in standard navision since the dos version.
