Posting Vendor and Customer Prepayments

In the Russian version, prepayments work in a different way compared to the standard version of Business Central. When we receive a prepayment, it is necessary by accounting rules to post the prepayment on a separate account. Therefore, the vendor and customer posting groups have the Prepayment Account field.

Business Central uses this accounts for prepayment entries- Payment with Prepayment check mark.

To post a prepayment

1. On the General Journal page, select the Document Type - Payment and Prepayment check box.
2. Specify the account type and account number, the balance account type, and the balance account number.
3. Post the general journal.

2. Select a line with a posted prepayment, and then choose the Apply action.
