Where can I find this function?
Navigate to Accounting → Reconciliation → Escalated Bookings.
Reconcile a partial payment
You can create a new clearing account or use account 2030 Prepayments received. We explain how to create a new account in the chart of accounts in this article.
Example: A debtor invoice for CHF 200 was issued on 01.01.20x2 and sent to the customer. CHF 100 was received on 10.01.20x2 and the remaining CHF 100 was credited on 30.01.20x2.
As soon as a debtor payment appears in the reconciliation (Accounting → Reconciliation → Escalated) and does not match the total amount, proceed as follows:
Click “Reconcile” and select the first partial payment.
Post the amount manually to account 2030 Prepayments received or to the clearing account you created.
Then select the final partial payment in the escalated transactions. Reconcile this payment directly with the document.
Book the difference to the clearing account where the first partial payment was booked.
The document is now reconciled and will no longer appear in the open items list. At the same time, the clearing account is balanced again.
Notes
Partial payments are not considered in the open items list. Open items must therefore be compared individually with the partial payment accounts.
If you receive many partial payments, we recommend creating separate clearing accounts for each company.
