You may need to update or delete a vendor prepayment transaction.

Editing a Vendor Prepayment Transaction

You can modify fields and add additional information to an existing vendor prepayment transaction.

In a vendor prepayment application, you can change the prepayment amount applied to the vendor bills. When you apply a vendor prepayment to the total cost of a bill, the status of the bill changes to Paid in Full. If you edit the prepayment application reducing the amount, the status of the vendor bill changes to Open.

To edit a vendor prepayment transaction:

  1. Go toTransactions > Payables > Enter Vendor Prepayment > List.

  2. If theFiltersarea is collapsed, click the plus sign to show the available filters.

  3. If not already selected, use theTypelist to select the transaction type.

  4. For the transaction you want to edit, clickEdit.

  5. Update the transaction as necessary.

  6. ClickSave.

Note: You can change the payment amount only when the prepayment is in Paid status.

  • You cannot delete transactions from a closed posting period.
