Posting Types - Sales Contract Application for Payment (AFP)

Introduction

Explained below is the setup of posting controls used in the sales-contract-application-for-payment process. When processing an AFP, postings are created in 3 stages.

  1. Submit application for payment
  2. Certify Application for payment
  3. Post project Invoice

It should be noted that postings created when submitting the application for payment, are fully reversed at the point of creating postings for certifying the application for payment. Postings created when certifying the application for payment are fully reversed during the posting of the project invoice.

Some of the above 3 stages and related postings may not be required based on the value selected for invoice method in the default settings of the sales contract. Invoice method indicates whether a company wishes to go through the steps of submit and certify AFP or directly create an invoice and related postings.
