Separate ledger accounts for advance installments

You can only use separate ledger accounts for invoiced and paid advance installments to distinguish invoiced advance installments and paid advance installments for sales orders and project invoices. You cannot set up advance installments for service invoices.

You can process advance installment invoices in remittance advices. However, if you use separate control accounts for paid and unpaid advance invoices, overpayments and underpayments are not allowed, because LN cannot create debit notes or accept credit notes for underpayment, or create advance or unallocated payments for overpayments.

If you use separate ledger accounts for paid and unpaid advance invoices, you must not process the receipt transactions before the integration transactions related to the advance installment invoices are posted. You can specify whether in such a situation LN warns the user or blocks the process. For automatic processes, LN cannot warn the user and the process is blocked. For more information, refer to Standard and negotiated bank charges - setup.

For these processes, LN does not support separate ledger accounts for invoiced and paid advance installments:

  • Factoring
  • Trade note receivable (TNR)
  • Cash application
Note: The setting of the Separate Account for Paid Advance Installments parameter in the Finance Company Parameters (tfgld0503m000) session to use a separate control account for advance invoices must be the same at the time when you create advance installment invoices and when you create the sales invoice for the related sales order, or the project invoice. Otherwise, the integration accounts for invoiced advance installments and paid advance installments do not balance, and you must create manual journal vouchers to correct the situation.
