    • A prepayment is the amount paid for services before their receipt or invoiced due date. When an invoice is issued for a pre-payment, it is against the pre-paid account. During the defined pre-paid period, the amount is amortized accordingly against the capex or expense account.

    The Pre-payments required field on the purchase line indicates if pre-payments can be credited to the supplier against a purchase. Selecting this field also results in the display of the Pre-payments related list on the purchase line. The pre-payment information is carried over to a purchase order line whenever a purchase order is created.

    The following are the key fields of a prepayment:

    表 : 1. Pre-payment fields

    Pre-paid period start The start date of the pre-payment period, from which the pre-payments start.
