Prepayment Partial Reductions & Bug

jannestig

In a certain Scenario whereby a Sales order is raised for a customer to be licenses from the vendor, a sales prepayment is raised say for 1 000 000.

The customer will send a royalty report back to the vendor for the amount of liceneses it has actually consumed say 100 000

I would prefer that after the royalty report is recieved & cash reciept post a partial credit not would be raised allowing for partial shipment to the value of the cash receipt.

I know i can just do prepay credit memo for the whole amount and then post a new prepay inv at the deducted amount after shipping.

Anyone seen a standard way to do this other then removing check prepayment on posting in sales setup.

The best way i have worked out without coding is

1. Raise Sales order
2. Post Prepay invoice
3. post Cash reciept for x% inc VAT amount
4. Turn off posting check
5. Post a shipment for x% showing reduced amount of licenses available

6 Repeat steps 2-5 until until 0 % remaining
7. Invoice sales order
8 check zero amount remaining

EDIT

Realised i was assuming final deduction was at the end of the prepayment, instead of a deduction at each report recieved

So it was simply

Creation of an order,
create an prepayment invoice,
Post a cash Receipt applied against the Prepay. Invoice

Each time a Royalty Report (RR) is due
Set amount to ship QTY = RR QTY
Ship and invoice
Repeat until all licenses are consumed
