  1. Post one or more partial payments against an invoice using Post Outgoing Payments or Manage Automatic Payments, possibly with deductions (for example, cash discount or tax withholding).
  2. Complete the settlement so that the invoice becomes fully cleared.

Cause

This is the Standard system behavior

Resolution

  • The Invoice Reference field is populated only for specific document relationships such as partial payments, partial clearings of down payments, credit memos, and subsequent invoices.
  • For fully cleared invoices, the Invoice Reference field is generally not populated unless one of these relationships exists.
  • The Invoice Reference field can be used to identify related invoice documents where available; however, it does not provide a complete payment-to-invoice allocation history.
