The Payment plan tab
Under the Payment plan tab you handle payment plans for purchase orders.
This tab is shown in the procedure if the system setting called Handle payment plans on purchase orders is activated.
This tab is activated if a payment plan is selected under the Header tab. If not, it is inactive.
Here you can get an overview of the total order value, what has been invoiced, and what is left to invoice. If a certain partial invoice has been released/delivered, partially delivered, partially invoices, or final invoiced, then it is not possible to change anything on the row. The amount is saved both in the currency of the order currency and in the company currency.
It is possible to change invoicing period on the delivery row as long as the row's status is Registered or Partial delivery made. On advance rows and in arrears rows, it is possible to change name and invoicing period up to when the row is released.
It is possible to change amount and percent in the plan all the way up to the point when final delivery is made. However, you cannot change amount and percent for rows which are already released.
At the bottom of the tab you see different totals regarding the payment plan.
When arrival reporting order rows included in a payment plan, deduction rows are automatically created for advance/in arrears. Please note! Rows added during the delivery reporting, will never affect the payment plan.
Depending on the order row status, it is possible to release partial invoices of the type Advance and In arrears in this procedure. The partial invoice type called Delivery is released when arrival reporting is performed. Partial invoice type is saved to the accounts payable/accounts receivable records and are shown in different lists.
