Summary

Basic of Prepayment Invoice [White Paper (Doc ID


134123.1)]
Meaning A prepayment is a type of invoice you enter to make an advance payment to a supplier
or employee.
Type of Prepayment
1. Temporary prepayments can be applied to invoices or expense reports.
2. Permanent prepayments cannot be applied to invoices.
. Conversion Of Prepayment Invoice Type
o. If user has entered the prepayment as a Permanent type and want to apply it, user can query the prepayment in the
Invoices window and change the Prepayment Type to Temporary.
o. However user has entered Temporary prepayment which is being adjusted in such case it is not possible for user to
convert the same in to Permanent prepayment.

Prepayment Invoice Application


Application of Prepayment on Standard Invoice can be done by 2 ways
1. Directly From Prepayment invoice window here user has to select the invoice against
which user wants to apply prepayment.

Here there is
only single
check box .

Prepayment Invoice Application


2. From Invoice window , here user has to select the prepayment invoice against which user
wants to adjust the same.

Basic difference between both the above mention is that when supplier is giving user an invoice
which is net of the Prepayment invoice amount in such case user should use 2 nd method by click
on both the check box so Oracle directly convert that invoice as net off Prepayment invoice.
In above case user has to enter only net off amount at the header level .

Here there is
two check
boxes are
available .

Prepayment Invoice Application


Application of Prepayment on Expense Report
You have to create a regular Prepayment Invoice using Invoice Workbench Window & pay it in
full taking Employees name as a Supplier.
Then, as soon as you enter Employee Name in the Expense Report Window, system will
indicate the Prepayments available.

Prepayment Invoice Application

You have to apply the Prepayment to the Expense Report before exporting it to Invoice
Workbench.
After applying Prepayment to the Expense Report, it looks like-

Prepayment Invoice Application


After saving the Expense Report rest steps will be the same as in case of processing Normal
Expense Report.
I.e. You will have to run a request - Expense Report Export for Payables Expense Report. And,
validate the Invoice using Invoice Workbench Actions Button.
The Invoice Workbench looks like-

Default Prepayment Account


User Define Prepayment Account at 2 stages
1. User specify Prepayment Account at Financial Option which will get default at Supplier Site

Default Prepayment Account


Once user assign Prepayment at Financial option the it will automatically defaults at Supplier Site
Level which can be inquire at Accounting Tab which will automatically be defaults at prepayment
invoice distribution level which can be change by user.

Settlement Date

Oracle provides an additional control by providing


Settlement Date concept .
Its a kind of temporary hold provided on Prepayment
invoice.
With the help of settlement date user can apply the
Prepayment to that invoice which is recorded on or after
the settlement date it self.

Prepayment Invoice
Payment
Prepayment Terms
Payment-Terms defaults from Invoice tab in

Payable Options.
However if there is nothing defined at Payable option in
such case then it will default the payment term for
prepayment invoice from Supplier Site.

Prepayment Notification
When you enter an invoice for a supplier for whom you have outstanding Temporary
prepayments, Payables notifies you that you have prepayments available that you can
optionally apply.

Prepayment & Discount Majorly the Prepayment is having immediate payment terms so there would not be any
question of discount on prepayment but when user is making balance amount of invoice in
specified discount period in such case system will calculate discount only on Net amount paid
after adjusting the prepayment.
E.g. User Had made prepayment of 500 which is 25% of total invoice , invoice having payment
terms as 10/10 , N30 now if user makes remaining payment of 1500 (i.e. balance 75% )
with in 10 days of term date in such case user will get Disc only of 150 (i.e.10% of 1500 and
not on 2000).

Stop on Prepayment

When user made an payment of prepayment but instruction of stop is issued on the same
in such case status of Invoice also remains the same as Available which means user can
apply that prepayment invoice .(As a solution we can convert that in to Permanent
Prepayment or delay settlement date.)

Prepayment and Withholding Tax


You can apply only item distributions from the prepayment (i.e. NOT the tax on
prepayment if any).

Multiple Lines In Prepayment
If user had entered multiple lines in Prepayment invoice in such , each line of prepayment
invoice is showing as a different prepayment which can help user to set off single line of
prepayment against their respective Invoice.

Prepayment and Invoice having same Purchase order
Business Case

- User having 1 purchase Order of some specific class of item e.g.


Cement of 100 qty of 10 each (i.e. total 1000 Rs).User has to make Prepayment of
1000 Rs now user wants that when he makes Standard invoice for that particular PO in
such case he can only be able to apply that prepayment which he had made against
that particular PO.

Solution
1. User has to create one regular Purchase Order for that particular product.
2. User has to create one Prepayment Invoice by matching PO with Prepayment invoice .
3. In addition to above, user has to enter the PO number in Prepayment PO Number
tab at header level of Prepayment invoice.

4. When the user will enter the standard invoice and match the same to the PO against
which prepayment is made, system will show a Hold after validation which reminds
the user to apply the PO matched prepayment .

5. In order to release the hold user needs to apply such prepayment to the invoice.
Once user applies the prepayment, Invoice hold on that standard invoice will
automatically be released by the system.

Cancellation of Prepayment and Refund of the same
Prepayment can be cancelled by 3 ways
1.

Create a dummy standard invoice of amount of refund and then apply the
prepayment to the same and at invoice level in distribution instead of Expense A/c
enter the Cash/ Bank for the same.
(Doc ID 1599303.1)

2.

Create a dummy standard invoice of amount of refund and then apply the
prepayment to the same , also create the Debit memo and apply the same to the
and claim the refund of that debit memo.
(Doc ID 1949298.1)

3.

Create dummy Mixed invoice of amount of refund but at line level user has to enter
Nil amount , now apply that prepayment by enabling both the check box and then
take the refund of that mixed invoice.

4.

Cancel the payment made for prepayment and then cancel the Prepayment invoice.

Prepayment Status Report


You can use the Prepayments Status Report to review the unapplied prepayments
and unpaid or partially paid invoices for a supplier. You can compare the invoices
and prepayments for a supplier to determine if there are outstanding
prepayments which you can apply against unpaid invoices.

Prepayment Restriction
Prepayment must be fully paid before user can apply to any invoice.
Prepayment can be done only after getting it is being approved.
User can only apply a prepayment to an invoice with the same supplier, invoice currency, and
payment currency as the prepayment.
User cannot take discount on prepayment.

Common questions

Powered by AI

Oracle enhances management by notifying users of available outstanding temporary prepayments when entering a new invoice for a supplier. This ensures awareness and potential application of prepayments, optimizing financial transactions by reducing errors and overlooked adjustments .

Temporary prepayments can be applied to invoices or expense reports, whereas permanent prepayments cannot be applied to invoices . A user can convert a prepayment from permanent to temporary by querying the prepayment in the Invoices window and changing the Prepayment Type; however, if a temporary prepayment is adjusted, it cannot be converted to a permanent prepayment .

Prepayments can only be applied to invoices that share the same supplier, invoice currency, and payment currency as the prepayment itself. These restrictions are crucial to maintain consistency and accuracy in financial reconciliations and currency management .

The process involves creating a regular Purchase Order and linking it to a Prepayment Invoice by entering the PO number at the header level. When processing the corresponding standard invoice, the system places a hold, prompting the user to apply the previously matched prepayment before the hold can be released .

The settlement date acts as a temporary hold on Prepayment invoices, allowing prepayments to be applied only to invoices recorded on or after the settlement date. This control helps manage when prepayments can be matched to invoices, adding an additional layer of financial oversight .

The default prepayment account can be specified at the Financial Option and it defaults at the Supplier Site level. This default can be inquired at the Accounting Tab and further defaults to the prepayment invoice distribution level, where the user can change it if necessary .

Prepayments typically have immediate payment terms, thus not qualifying for discounts. However, if a balance payment of the invoice is made within a specified discount period, the discount applies only to the net amount after prepayment. For instance, a prepayment of 500 of a total invoice of 2000, with terms 10/10, N30, allows for a 10% discount on the remaining 1500 if paid within 10 days, resulting in a discount of 150 .

Multiple lines in a prepayment invoice are treated as separate prepayments, enabling users to match each line against corresponding invoices. This flexibility allows for more precise financial management and adjustments, aligning prepayment distribution closely with distinct invoice requirements .

Prepayment refunds can be managed by creating a dummy standard or mixed invoice, applying the prepayment, and entering the appropriate account adjustments. Alternatively, the payment made can be canceled, followed by the prepayment invoice itself. These actions conceptually align with reversal or adjustment principles in accounting, ensuring accurate financial records .

Prepayments are applied to invoices when a supplier invoice is net of the prepayment amount. This can be done directly from the prepayment invoice window by selecting the invoice or from the Invoice window by selecting the prepayment invoice to adjust. User must enter the net-off amount at the header level if using the second method .
