Automatic Offset Method Y (Detailed)

If you use offset method Y, the posting process creates one offset for each document, even if the invoice document contains both positive and negative pay items.

Note: (FRA) Users in France should use offset method Y because it maintains the correct separate debit and credit balances, even if positive documents (invoices) and negative documents (credit memos) are included in the same batch.

In this example, the batch includes an invoice with two items: one for 10,000, and one for 5,000. The batch also includes a credit memo with two items: one for 3,000, and one for 1,000. The posting process created two automatic entries: a debit of 15,000 to offset both items on the invoice, and a credit of 4,000 to offset both items on the credit memo.
