Accounts Receivable
Create AR advances without first creating summaries
The new ARADVANCE object allows you to record advances from customers before creating invoices, such as if a customer pays a deposit or retainer. In addition, a company’s Accounts Receivable configuration can be set to post advances to automatically create payment summaries (daily, or monthly, or one per advance) or to existing summaries (which maintains pre-R4 workflows).
AR Advances can have multiple line items so that an advance can be applied to multiple locations, departments, or projects, etc., as needed.
Once an invoice is created, advances can be applied to the invoice with an ARPYMT request.
The new ARADVANCE object should be used to create advances instead of the legacy ARPAYMENT object.
For more information, see the AR Advances documentation:
