Vendor Prepayment Application
After you make a prepayment to a vendor, you must apply the prepayment against the vendor bills. A vendor prepayment application is a posting transaction that impacts the general ledger. The Prepayment account is credited, offsetting the Accounts Payable account. The application decreases the total amount you must pay to your vendor.
For information about applying vendor prepayments in the UI, see Vendor Prepayment Application.
