NSC | Understanding the computation for Payment’s Amount Due field
Scenario
Users are confused about how the Amount Due on a Payment record is computed, as it does not match the actual amount due for the Customer or Vendor.
Computation and Explanation
Data
- Invoice Amount = $100
- First Payment = $20
- Second Payment = $30
- Third Payment = $40
Upon first payment
- Amount Due is equal the Original Invoice amount of $100
Upon second payment
1st Payment – Amount Due was updated from $100 to $70
- Amount Due = $100 Invoice Amount – $30 Payment applied from another payment record (from 2nd Payment)
2nd Payment – Amount Due is $80
- Amount Due = $100 Invoice Amount - $20 from 1st Payment
Upon third payment
1st Payment – Amount Due was updated from $100 to $70 to $30
