Process Option: Document Only (Debit Memo and/or Invoice)
This document outlines the configuration options for handling overpayments and underpayments in debit memos and invoices, including payment methods and optional features like Invoice Settlement and File Processing Review.
Configure the overpayment behavior. Overpayment refers to a scenario in which the payment amount is greater than the debit memo/invoice amount.
- Reject Lockbox Record - Payment will not be accepted by the system.
- Pay as Credit Balance on Account - Debit memo/invoice payment will be processed and the remaining balance will become a credit on customer's account.
- Find Next Oldest Document of Same Type (if none, create credit) - Current debit memo/invoice will be paid and the remaining balance will be applied to the most recent outstanding billing document of the same type. If there is no outstanding debit memo/invoice, the balance will be placed on the account as a credit.
Configure the underpayment behavior. Underpayment refers to a scenario in which the payment amount is less than the debit memo/invoice amount.
- Reject Lockbox Record - Payment will not be accepted by the system.
- Process Lockbox Record - Payment will be processed by the system with an outstanding balance remaining on customer's account.
