In sales, the prerequisite for using pre-payment and partial invoices is a sales order. In the sales header the field Identifier (PRP/PP/FP) is created. Behind this field is a table in which you can store a new data record for the order and thus a pre-payment plan. If a value is entered in this field and assigned, a pre-payment and partial invoices can be created for this order. An identifier (PRP/PP/FP) can only be used for one order in the system. Each new order requires the creation of a new identifier.

FA Ledger Entries cannot be modified directly in page of FA Ledger Entries, they must be modified by a separate window.In order to see all entries with same “Identifier (PRP/PP/FP)” with one view, you can use function “Find AZM entries” in page “Find entries”.. If you use this function, you will see under specification of “Identifier (PRP/PP/FP)” and use of function “Find” all entries and documents with same “Identifier (PRP/PP/FP)”.
Note

Only one invoice line with the entered flat rate amount is created in this invoice.
"Create invoice" opens a dialogue window where "pre-payment invoice" is selected in the field Invoice type. Then a percentage or an amount can be entered in the window as desired. This amount then corresponds to the net amount of the created pre-payment invoice. In the field G/L account description, the row description for the cumulated sum row is entered.
The created flat-rate invoice contains a row with the description and the amount from the "AZM Create invoice" window. The combination of gen. business posting group and gen. product posting group is pulled from the gen. business posting group field via the customer (gen. business posting group) and from the general ledger setup (pre-payments/partial invoices tab). The G/L account to which the pre-payment invoice is posted is pulled from the general posting setup from the "sales pre-payment invoice" account field.

In the field Invoice type, "Part Payment Flat-Rate Invoice" is selected.
After release, a credit note is created in the background to balance the pre-payment invoice. (see "Cumulation")
The last generated partial invoice can always be cancelled via the cancellation function so that it can be corrected.

Then a window is called up via the menu call Actions - Cancel Pre.-/Part Payment Function in which the partial or pre-payment invoice to be cancelled can be selected.
After the selection, the credit note is automatically linked to the partial or pre-payment invoice to be cancelled. The link can be seen in the payment plan of the order in the Prepared credit note field. From there, the credit note can also be called up at any time. The credit note can then be posted, and the last pre-payment or partial invoice is cancelled. The posted credit note is then linked in the payment plan and the cancellation is marked. The no. of the partial or pre-payment invoice is then free again.
A new Flat-Rate invoice can be created soon, and possible corrections are carried out.
A partial invoice in detail always refers to each line from the sales order.
After the lines in the order have been prepared accordingly, the Actions - AZM - Create Invoice menu item opens the "AZM Create Invoice" window. In the field Invoice type "Part Payment Detail Invoice" is selected.
In this case, a value must be entered in the field "NC ANZ/TR cum. %" in each line of the order before calling up - "Create invoice". The value in this field must be entered cumulatively. Example: In the first invoice 10 % of the order total should be charged, in the second another 10 %, i.e. cumulatively 20 %, etc.

If a final invoice is cancelled manually, the entire process up to the creation of the final invoice must be carried out again manually (with a new order).In purchasing, the prerequisite for the use of the pre-payment and partial invoices is a purchase order. In the purchasing header in the General tab, there is a field Identifier (PRP/PP/FP). Behind this identifier there is a table in which you can store and create a new data record for the order and thus create a pre-payment plan.
