INTRODUCTION

This article describes the Scheduled Payments transaction in the following products:

Additionally, this article describes how to void a scheduled payment.

MORE INFORMATION

You can use the Scheduled Payments transaction when you create installments from an invoice and when you post amortizations. The following steps show how the Scheduled Payments transaction works.

1.

You post an invoice from which installments are created.

2.

You select the invoice in the Receivables Scheduled Payments Entry window to create a scheduled payment. You configure the scheduled payment, and then you post the scheduled payment. When you do this, Microsoft Dynamics GP creates the following documents:

• A credit memo document in which the type is set to "CR."

Note The credit memo amount is the same as the invoice amount.

• A scheduled payment document in which the type is set to "SCP."

Note The scheduled payment amount is the same as the credit memo amount.

3.

You post the amortizations in the Post Receivables Scheduled Payments window.

Notes

• The amortizations are related to the invoice document in which the type is "SLS."
• When you post an amortization, the amortization amount is subtracted from the scheduled payment.

For example, you create six installments from an invoice that has an amount of 1,200. Then, you post all amortizations. In this example, the results of the "Schedule Payments" transaction are as follows.

Accounts Receivable account	Sales account	Offset account	Document	Type
1,200	-1,200	-	Invoice	SLS
-1,200	-	1,200	Credit memo	CR
-	-	-	Scheduled payment	SCP
200	-	-200	First amortization	SLS
200	-	-200	Second amortization	SLS
200	-	-200	Third amortization	SLS
200	-	-200	Fourth amortization	SLS
200	-	-200	Fifth amortization	SLS
200	-	-200	Sixth amortization	SLS
1,200	-1,200	0	-	-
