Supplier pre-payment settlement in Sage X3

By | July 4, 2012

Improving relations between you and your Customers/Vendors can call for pre-payment or sometimes a supplier may require a deposit before commencing work on an order, or the order may have to be paid in advance. Although it is quite easy to do prepayments in Sage X3, however, one has to make sure that these prepayments are mapped with their respective invoices. This not only ensures the integrity of the system but also is vital for the accurate dashboard and reports like Age wise Outstanding etc.

Following are the steps to map a Supplier prepayment to a Supplier Invoice:

  1. Go to “A/P-A/R accounting -> Open Item ->  Supplier Prepayment Accounting”.
  2. Fill in the following details:

* Company name: Company for which the settlement is to be done.
* Site: The corresponding site.
* Pay By: Supplier for whom the prepayment has been done.
* Accounting Date: The date till which the prepayments needs to be fetched.

  1. Click on Search.
  2. This would pull up all the prepayments (in a table) that have been done for the selected supplier till the given accounting date.

Following are some of the vital fields in the table:

  • Posted: This field determines if this prepayment should be posted on an order or an invoice
  • Type: In case Invoices are to be posted for prepayment, it determines the invoice type.
  • Ord / Inv: The Order/ Invoice document number.
  • Paid: The amount paid in the prepayment.
  • Amount to post: Enter the amount to post on the order or the invoice. Balance (if any) will remain in its original posting.

For user convenience, this screen also has an Assignment button that automatically allocates invoices to payments. By default, it is the oldest invoices that are allocated to the pre-loaded payments in the body of the grid.
This automatic allocation proposition is made in several steps:

  • Grouping of pre-payment open items not yet posted
  • Sorting of pre-payment open items by currency than by amount (from the highest to the lowest)
  • All the pre-payment open items are reviewed to post an invoice open item.
  • The invoice open items are pre-loaded from the oldest to the most recent.

Customer pre-payments also work in a similar manner.
