4. Create an Invoice.
5. Define the Partner and add the product created for the Advance.
6. Post the invoice and complete the payment in full.
7. Identify an Invoice for the same Partner.
8. Select the button to “Compensate Advance”
9. On the left side, choose one of the available advances and on the right side, select the line you wish to settle from the current invoice.

11. You will be redirected back to the invoice with the payment status updated to either Partial or Paid, depending on the amount entered.

Observation:

1. Please be informed that advance payments cannot be processed outside of the Purchase and Sales Journal (Invoice). Journal entries created as advances will not be considered as they need to be marked as paid, which is not currently tracked within our system.
