apply Vendor Prepayment to a journal

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To apply a vendor prepayment to a journal, you can use a journal entry line and put the Vendor in the Name field of the journal. Make sure to use the same payable account. This way, you can mimic the prepayment application through the bill payment. When you create a bill of a purchase order and prepay for the item, the GL impact after the bill is paid puts it into accrued purchases. When it is received, it gets "moved" to inventory asset. If you get a vendor credit or cash refund, you might need to consult the Vendor Prepayments Overview article in SuiteAnswers (Answer Id: 87402) for more detailed information. If you're looking for a more automated solution, you could consider using a workflow or SuiteSolutions - "Vendor Prepayments". This could automate the process of going to the record for the vendor credit once the cheque has been written, making the process more seamless. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
