This activity is used to create an invoice for a prepayment made by a customer. Prepayment-based invoices are used to offset prepayments made for customer orders against the final invoices.
In order to perform this activity, a prepayment connected to a customer order must exist.
| Value | System Effect |
| If Create is clicked | An invoice of the status Preliminary will be created. |
| If Create, Print and Off-set is clicked | The prepayment-based invoice will be created,
printed and posted. At the same time, the invoice amount will be automatically
offset with the customer payment on account. If the order is associated with a project, the ID of the project is posted to the prepayment-based invoice. The ID will also be displayed in the Project ID field of the Customer Invoice/General tab. The status of the invoice will be PaidPosted. The postings for the invoice will be based on the code string defined for the posting types M192, Taxable Future Sales, IP2, and Customer Claims. If any currency profit or loss has occurred due to the currency of the prepayment-based invoice being different from that of the prepayment, that profit or loss will be posted based on the code string defined for PP12, Currency Loss/PP13, Currency Profit. |
Note: The invoice fee will not be considered when creating a Prepayment-based Invoice.
