Stand-Alone Deductions (TI Code 27)

When the amount of the payment does not equal the amount of the invoices that it pays, you can create a stand-alone deduction to postpone the research and resolution of the short-payment until a later date. Additionally, you might use the stand-alone feature for deductions that are not associated with any invoice. For example, you would use this feature if you receive a duplicate payment for a small amount and are unsure about how to process it.

When you create a stand-alone deduction (type input code 27), the system reduces the customer's account by the amount of the short-payment.

When you post the deduction, the system creates a record in the A/R Deduction Management table (F03B40) that you use to resolve the issue.
