In this process you create a purchase order in Materials Management, which is then filled upon receipt of a down payment. Once goods receipt is posted, you create the invoice in Materials Management invoice verification. Clearing with respect to goods received and goods invoiced is performed automatically.

Because you have already made a down payment, the down payment must be cleared in terms of the invoice amount. Then you make the final payment.

To simplify matters, the down payment requirement is set for today’s date, just a short time after the purchase order. The invoice is entered with a date ten days from today’s date, and paid immediately.
