Vendor advances assigns an existing posted bank funding movement to a supplier balance. Open Deposits and advances, select Vendor advances and review the current company. New advances require configured Institution Accrual books with a two-decimal reporting currency.
Find the vendor and select a dedicated control account. Vendor advances use a dedicated asset account, distinct from the liability control used for customer deposits. Review the existing posted funding source and confirm that it belongs to this supplier.
Enter the supported Accounting date and a specific Reason, then review the exact source and amount through the available confirmation path. The date must respect the source and existing credit activity. Assigning funding records the counterparty relationship; it does not send another payment.
After confirmation, inspect the saved balance and funding history. Existing records remain reviewable when new-advance requirements are unavailable. If the control account needs reconciliation, resolve the unassigned movements before applying the balance to bills so the available advance is supported by the recorded evidence.
