Abstract:
A prepayment is tied to a purchase order when a purchase order is generated. The prepayment is then posted to a deferred payment account, instead of an accounts payable account. When an invoice is received on the purchase order, the prepayment is applied to the invoice. The prepayment is consumed before increasing the accounts payable account.
