Overpayments

Business processes

• Receive payment as overpayment
• Reverse overpayment creation
• Use 1 overpayment to (partially) pay N invoices
• Use N overpayments to (partially) pay 1 invoice
• Use N overpayments to (partially) pay M invoices
• Use of overpayments during invoice entry
• Reverse payment-from-overpayment
• Overpayment refunds
• Reports
  • Visibility of overpayment on paid invoices
  • Overpayments created
  • Overpayments invoices paid from overpayment
  • Track (over)payment balance per customer

Remark from @freelock: don't forget to include overpayments in the voucher (bulk) payment entry screen so they don't get overlooked.

Application impact

• Test/implement overpayment receipt/payment (individual overpayment creation implemented as part of single payment screen)
• Test/Implement overpayment reversal (payment (including overpayment) reversal implemented through vouchers)
• Overpayment screen, based on the following services:
  • gl accounts, filtered by "overpayment account"
  • overpayments, summarized by customer
  • individual overpayments, detailing creation and use (reversal / refund / invoice payment)
  • invoices, filtered by "unpaid" / "open" (and not on hold???)
• Test/implement reversal of payment from overpayment (thus increasing the overpayment balance)
• Overpayment refund screen, based on the following services:
  • gl accounts, filtered by "overpayment account"
  • gl accounts, filtered by "cash account" (petty cash or bank/checking account)
  • overpayments, summarized by customer
  • individual overpayments, remaining balance
  • ??? ability to generate/receive a check from the refund
