You can use this field when you post the purchase header, to have the program apply it to a document that has already been posted. In this case, enter here the type of document that you want it to be applied to.
You apply to a document, for example, if you want a credit memo to be applied to a posted invoice, or an invoice to be applied to partial payment.
To see a list of document types you can select from, click the AssistButton in the field.
You can choose:
Blank
Payment
Invoice
Credit Memo
Finance Charge Memo
Reminder
Refund
When you are applying a credit memo, select Invoice in Applies-to Doc. Type and enter the invoice number in Applies-to Doc. No.
You can also use the field to apply invoices to partial payments. In this case, enter Payment for the type, and enter the number of the partial payment you want to apply the invoice to in the Applies-to Doc. No. field.
If you use the AssistButton to select the document number in the Applies-to Doc. No. field, the program will automatically enter the correct type in the Applies-to Doc. Type field.
You can read more about applying entries in the Help for the Apply Vendor Entries window.
