Happy Friday - got a "hitting head against a wall" moment and hoping someone can help provide some sanity. Put simply, how would you post a Supplier/vendor over payment....? I have looked at the Vendor prepayment option, but we just want a simple over payment (like the customer unallocated option). I apprecaite the "shouldn't pay without a bill etc" but someone else must do a "let me ping over x to clear credit limit to get an order shipped". Do you really wait until it's all in before posting any of it?

Make a non inventory/other charge item called vendor prepayment and have it post to a prepaid purchases account Add a line to the purchase order for the amount of the over payment using this item Then directly below add another line with the same item but with a negative amount and a memo of “prepayment reversal” Bill and pay the first line. Then when the whole PO is received bill the actual item lines along with the negative amount to pay the balance less prepayment
