1534933 - The Down Payment Amount Is Not Deducted from the Value of the Customer Invoice Which References this Down Payment

As agreed with the customer, you create a down payment request to make the customer pay a part of the product amount before it has been delivered. You then release the down payment request, which makes the system generates an open item receivable in financial accounting.

When the customer pays, you go to the Receivables work center and clear this open item receivable.  After that, you create a manual invoice and assign the down payment to it so that the down payment can be deducted accordingly. But when you release the invoice, you find the total net value of the invoice is not deducted with the down payment amount.

2. Enter the necessary information of this customer and choose View All.
3. In the General tab, assign the cleared down payment request under Reference Documents.

5. Choose Save as Invoice.
6. The new invoice is created, and if you choose to view the document flow, you can see the down payment request is added successfully.

2. Select the invoice you just create and open it up.
3. Choose View All, and navigate to the Pricing tab.
