Don:



The entry of A/P Manual Payments (ACP700) has two (2) steps.

1. Enter the Payment Amount of the Manual Payment

2. Allocate that Payment Amount to Open A/P Invoices



This 2nd step must be done to complete the A/P loop, but if the A/P
Invoice is not yet in BPCS, you can postpone performing the allocation
until the Invoice has been entered. At that point, you would perform
just the allocation of the Unallocated Payment Amount. You also have
the option during Manual Payments to create the Invoice immediately
using a function key to access ACP500 Invoice Entry.



The error message that you received indicates that there is a difference
between the Payment Amount to be allocated to the specific Invoice and
the unallocated amount remaining on that Invoice. You are trying to
allocate more than what is unallocated.



I suggest that you verify in A/P Payments Inquiry for the check the
remaining amount in the "Alloc to Inv". This is the amount of the
Payment that remains to be applied to Invoices. Then, in A/P Invoice
Inquiry, check the Amount Remaining for the Invoice to which you would
like to apply the Manual Payment. You should see from these values why
you are receiving this error message.



If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me offline.



Thanks.

The allocate to pay amount will make the amount entered greater than the


amount to allocate. This is not acceptable. Enter any credits first,
then


debits.
