Payment Discount Tolerance

tro#1

I must be missing one setup but I cannot find it. Maybe you have a hint for me.

We want to start working with Payment Discount Tolerance.

In the G/L Setup I chose: Payment Discount Grace Periode: 2D

Payment Term Code:
Discount Date Calculation: 10D
Discount: 2%

I create an invoice with this payment term code.
The Customer Ledger Entry looks fine:
Pmt. Discount Date: T+10D
Pmt. Disc. Tolerance Date: T+10D+2D

If I apply the Customer Ledger Entry to a payment BEFORE the Pmt. Discount Date everything works as wanted: The discount automatically gets taken off.
But if I want to apply the customer ledger entry to a payment AFTER the Pmt. Discount Date but BEFORE the Pmt. Disc. Tolerance Date the amount remains the total - no discount gets taken off. We expected that the system still gives us the reduced amount.

Any idea is appreciated.

If you are using 5.0 this issue Partially applied payments are applied incorrectly if the date of a payment is after the Payment Discount Date but before the Payment Discount Tolerance Date in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 could be it, but only if it is partial applications that fails.
There are a number of knowledgebase articles on payment discount with codefixes, so if you haven't look there I suggest you do. Knowledgebase (Requires login).

Thank you for pointing at the Knowledge Base.

I have actually found an interesting link:
https://mbs.microsoft.com/knowledgebase ... ZRVQVPKMLK

It gives some examples of how to set up the Payment Discount Tolerance and how it works. In one example it is also mentioned:
"...
However, the full amount of $50.00 appears, even though the posting date is within the payment discount grace period.
Microsoft Navision is functioning as designed. In this scenario, you have to change the amount manually.
..."

So my assumption was wrong that the discount would be taken off automatically within the discount grace periode.
