Prepayments Overview A supplier might send an invoice that references a prepayment. If a supplier reduces the invoice amount by the amount of the prepayment and associated tax, you can use the Prepayment on Invoice feature to enter the invoice. You can enter two types of prepayments: Temporary and Permanent. Temporary Prepayments Temporary prepayments can be applied to invoices or expense reports you receive. or example, you use a Temporary prepayment to pay a hotel a catering deposit. !hen the hotel"s invoice arrives, apply the prepayment to the invoice to reduce the invoice amount you pay. Permanent Prepayments Permanent prepayments cannot be applied to invoices. or example, you use a Permanent prepayment to pay a lease deposit for which you do not expect to be invoiced.

3. Why does the >$antity chan"e to amo$nt $pon trans(er o( a 0$pp!ier Invoice (rom Paya)!es to Pro?ects?

A: If the 0($TD%AT*D +A9 is Y, then H'A)TITY will be populated with the PADH'A)TITY field. (therwise, it will be populated the A,(')T field. or example, if the H'A)TITY from AP is -EE, and the A,(')T is ICEEE, after transfer to ProJects, the A,(')T is still ICEEE, but the H'A)TITY is CEEE. This is not a bug. You need to chec5 the 0($TD%AT*D +A9 in the PAD*KP*)#IT'%*DTYP*$ table for the *KP*)#IT'%*DTYP* used on the AP invoice.
