ReportPrepayments in Business Central let you invoice and post advance payments on sales or purchase orders before the final invoice. This is useful when you require deposits before production or delivery.
First of all, we have to set up Sales & Receivables
Under the Number Series section:
-
Make sure Posted Prepmt. Inv. Nos. is the same as Posted Invoice Nos.
-
And Posted Prepmt. Cr. Memo Nos. matches Posted Credit Memo Nos.
This ensures that your prepayment invoices and credit memos follow the same numbering as regular sales documents.
Configuring sales prepayment accounts in the General Posting Setup
Set Up Prepayment Percentages for Customers and Items
Once the core sales prepayment settings are configured, the next step is to define prepayment percentages. Typically, this is done by entering a default percentage on the Customer or Item cards, which Business Central will automatically apply when creating sales documents.
To set a prepayment percentage for a customer, use the Tell Me feature to search for Customers, and open the relevant customer card. Under the Payments FastTab, enter the desired value in the Prepayment % field.
✅ With this, we’ve completed the prepayment setup for sales in Business Central.
In Part 2, we’ll walk through how to create sales documents—such as sales orders—with prepayments applied, and see how the system handles invoicing, posting, and tracking prepayment amounts.
