Pay an advance letter

If an advance letter has the status To Pay, it can be paid either via a general journal or a cash receipt.

Pay an advance letter via a general journal

Choose the icon, enter General Journals, and then select the related link.
Select a general journal template.
To pay the advance letter, on the journal line, in the Document Type field, choose Payment.
Depending on the type of advance letter (sales/purchase), enter the Customer No. or Vendor No..
In the Advance Letter No. field on the journal line, a list of all unpaid or partially paid advance letters is available. The list is filtered on the currency code selected on the journal line. Select the advance letter you want to pay and confirm your selection. You can reduce the proposed amount if you want to make a partial payment.

Hinweis
You can only link one advance letter per journal line. To pay multiple advance letters, use multiple journal lines.
After you post the journal, [!INCLUDE [prod_short](../../includes/prod_short.md)] creates a line where the Entry Type field contains Payment in the advance ledger entries.
