Hi ☺️,

After manually entering supplier invoice and saving it, the system shows the status ‘PrelPostedAuth’. Could you please explain why this status occurs and what the cause is?

It means that it is also authorized for payment and it has happened because you have the ‘When Posted’ setting for the Automatic Payment Authorization on the supplier record → Invoice tab. ‘When Posted’ means ‘when the first voucher is created (I voucher type).

The reason for having the Invoice saved in PrelPostedAuth because of the below two parameters:

  1. Company page → Invoice tab there is a parameter called “Create Postings at Invoice Entry”. Check whether this is selected. If this is selected, a voucher will be created. The invoice will go to PrelPosted state
  2. Supplier page → Invoice Tab the field → Automatic Payment Authorization set up as ‘When Posted’ . Then the invoice will go to PrelPostedAuth state
