Match Check with Customer Invoices

Explanation

This activity is used to match a customer Check with customer debit and credit invoices. If the Check is not completely matched, the remaining part is stored as a Payment on Account or Difference Item.

When matching the Check with invoices, discounts can be utilized, parts of invoices can be written off, difference items can be created, and partial payments can be made. Invoices in other companies can also be matched, and deduction used, as long as the customer is defined in the other companies.

A Check in one currency can be matched with invoices in other currencies as long as all currencies are EMU currencies i.e., you can enter a Check in EUR and match it with invoices in DEM or FRF, or vice versa. Or even enter a payment in DEM of invoices in FRF.

Prerequisites

The activity requires that you have registered Check information in the Customer Check page.

System Effects

This entry does not cause any system effects until the customer Check is saved. Then all matched invoices are paid, and an Open Customer Check ledger item is created with the full Check amount. If the Check is not fully matched, the remaining part will create a new Payment on Account or a Difference Item with the unmatched amount. A voucher will be created in the hold table in IFS Accounting Rules.

If using prepayment type on advance invoices and prepayments, the postings will be created according to the prepayment type and the settings in posting control for control type PC8.
