Work with Prepayment Information During Order Entry

You can enter or update prepayment during order entry if the prepayment processing options for the Sales Order Entry program (P4210) are defined for prepayment processing. After you enter an order, you can access the Prepayment Transaction Revisions form to enter check number or credit card information. The system retrieves the order amount, plus the calculated taxes as the prepayment amount. When you enter prepayment information, the system writes a record to the F004201 table.

If you inquire on an order and change the information, you might need additional authorization. After you accept changes to the order, the system compares the order total against the authorized amount in the F004201 table. If the order amount is greater than the authorized amount, the system updates the status of the transaction to get authorization.

If an order detail line is partially backordered or canceled, then a new authorization is not necessary unless the other transactions are moved to a settled status. Only one prepayment type for the order is currently allowed.
