Create a partial customer invoice offset

We are using APPS 9.

Our user would like to be able to apply an earned commission on customer A’s account against customer A’s outstanding invoice. 

The invoice amount is $100.00 and we want to apply a commission of $60.00, that is owed to the same customer, resulting in a net payable from the customer of $40.00.  Note that the commission payable has not been vouchered into AP, it is sitting in another balance sheet account, so we cannot use the Netting functionality at this time.  I was hoping to use the Customer Offset process, create a WO code that we could direct to the GL account that contains the commission accrual, but it will not allow me to make a partial write off against the $100 invoice.  I would have to wait for the customer to pay the $40.00 before I could WO of the difference, and the user wants to be able to apply the commission before the customer pays the invoice. Any ideas other than using a manual or instant invoice that would credit the customers account and debit the commissions accrual account?

Hi, 

Have you enabled the write off for partial payment? There is a check box control in Company/Payment tab/General Tab, Allow Write-off for partial payment. Once you enable it, it should be possible to use the write-off for partial payment. 

You will be able to directly do this via Mixed Payment also.

Best Regards

Eranda

Hi Eranda

 

Thank you for the direction on the Company record.  I checked the box and it worked as expected.

Thanks again to you and the IFS Community!
