Enter General Customer Offset Information
Explanation
This activity is used to enter general
information used in a customer offset transaction. Examples of general
information about the customer payment are payment date, voucher date, user group, voucher
type, payment currency, and cash amount. In the first part of the window, there is general
information, such as date and user group.
You can make offsets between customer debit and credit invoices, as well
as between payments on account, payments in advance and invoices. Parked payments can also be offset. The
offset function does not cause any cash flows in the cash accounts, and the total amount
must always be zero (0). No voucher is created.
Prerequisites
There must be transactions to make offsets against.
System Effects
Offsets within the system are considered to be a payment.
