Use the A/P Invoice Deductions screen to specify a deduction amount and the reason for a deduction on an invoice. For example, if you receive slightly damaged goods, but decide that the material is usable, then you might discuss this with your vendor and then deduct that amount from the invoice.
To deduct an amount from an invoice:
From the A/P menu, select A/P Entry to display the A/P Entry screen.
On the A/P Entry screen, use the Deductions hot key to display the A/P Invoice Deductions screen.
In the Amount field, enter the amount of the deduction to subtract from the payment amount.
In the Reason field, enter a brief explanation for taking the deduction.
Press Esc to apply the deduction and return to the A/P Entry screen.
The system displays the deduction in the Deduct Amt field. It also prints the deduction amount and the reason for it on the remittance advice section of the check.
