Match with Customer Invoices Cash Box

Explanation

This activity is used to match a customer payment transaction with customer debit and credit invoices. If the payment transaction is not completely matched, the remaining part is stored as a Payment on Account, given that a customer is specified. If a customer is not specified, the remaining part is stored as a Parked Customer Payment. You can also add a new item, i.e., a Difference Item that can either be positive or negative, to balance the matching.

When matching the payment with invoices, discounts can be utilized, parts of invoices can be written off, and partial payments can be made. Invoices in other companies can also be matched as long as the customer is defined in the other companies.  

It is allowed to  match invoices even when the currencies of the matched invoices/installments are outside EMU currencies. For example, you can enter a payment in EUR for invoices in USD or Swiss CHF, or vice versa, or even enter a payment in USD for invoices in Swiss CHF. When currency combinations are used, it is possible to choose a calculation pattern by selecting a recalculation type. Recalculation patterns differ depending on the recalculation type as well as the field modified.

Prerequisites
