Hi all. I seem to be striking out on my forum posts lately, but thought I'd try one more:
In researching ways to improve our processing, the issue of what we call "partial billing" or prepayments has come up. I was hoping to get insight into how others handle these situations. Here's what I'm talking about:
We have a need to cut a PO to a vendor and the vendor is demanding a partial or down payment of 80% up front. Then, once the installation is done we will get another invoice for the remaining 20%.
Right now, we handle this by just putting in the PO as a service-type line so we can then get their 80% invoice in and match it to the PO.
But, looking into the prepayment option in Lawson, I was hoping we could maybe use that. The only problem is that when we use prepayment via AP206, it doesn't reduce the open-to-match amount any.
So, how do others handle these downpayment scenarios?

No. We tried, but could not get it resolved correctly and have since moved on to focusing on CSF implementation.
