Create Amortization Schedules and Installments for Prepaid Supplier Invoices

Create Amortization Schedules and Installments for Prepaid Supplier Invoices

  • Configure the
    Prepaid Spend Amortization Schedule Event
    business process and security policy in the Supplier Accounts functional area.
  • Specify
    Schedule
    as the
    Prepaid Amortization Type
    in the supplier invoice
    Prepaid Details
    tab.
You can generate installments for prepaid amortization schedules. Consider that:
  • If you set up amortization schedules for a supplier invoice related to a purchase order, Workday automatically populates the supplier invoice amortization schedule from the purchase order, but you can change it as needed.
  • If you generate prepaid amortization installments before approving the supplier invoice, Workday clears the installments as a safeguard in case you change invoice line extended amounts during the review step.
  • You can use the Submit Prepaid Spend Amortization Schedule web service to create custom schedules for prepaid spend amortizations.
  1. From a saved or submitted supplier invoice, select the
    Create Prepaid Spend Amortization Schedule
    related action or access the
    Supplier Invoice Workbench
    .
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description

    Number of Installments

    Schedule On Hold

    You can release schedules from the

    Prepaid Amortization Date
    • Use Invoice Date
      - The schedule begins on the invoice start date.
    • From Date
      - Amortization begins on the date you specify.
      Example: Specify July 1 to amortize the first installment 7/1 and subsequent installments on the first of the next scheduled installment period.
    Add Lines
    Check
    Add Lines
    for each prepaid line or line split for the schedule.
    You can create multiple schedules for the supplier invoice if you require different installment details for groups of lines. You can also create a schedule for a single line.
