Distinguishing Proforma Advances in Accounts Payable (AP) Type Advance Payment Request (APR)

Problem

When trying to distinguish proforma advances from final disbursements when raising invoices in Accounts Payable advances and final DA have document type "INI" or "Invoice In". Even when entered via the Port Call Browser does the advance to the supplier appear under Invoice In in Accounts Payable (AP). How can an Advance Payment Request (APR) document type be assigned to an advance?

Solution

The Dataloy Property "com.dataloy.invoicing.apr" must be set to “true”. If it does not exist, create it. This will activate the creation of a pending APR document based on the proforma.

To enable feature:

  1. Go to Modules > Master Data > General Master Data Administration > Dataloy Property.
  2. Set the property: com.dataloy.invoicing.apr = true.
  3. Click Save.
