Acumens Prepayments & Special-Order Deposit for Dynamics Business Central/Dynamics NAV

Acumens Prepayments & Special-Order Deposit is an add-on designed to enhance the standard prepayment functionality, special order deposits and improve Accounts Receivable and Payable Reporting within Dynamics Business Central and Dynamics NAV. This extension provides businesses with more flexibility and control over their prepayment processes, ensuring smoother financial operations and better cash flow management.

Key Features:

1. Special-Order Deposit:

   A special order allows a customer to make specific requests or instructions, often for an item that is not normally stocked, in addition to other unique arrangements. Special orders fall into these broad categorizations: –

   1. Non-Stock items: These are items not typically kept in stock, requiring the seller to order from a supplier.
   2. Customizations: These involve items that need to be made to specific requirements like a custom-built piece of furniture.
   3. Special editions: These could be for limited or special edition products.
   4. Special pricing: A special order might involve a request for a lower price than the regular selling price.

   The special-order feature tracks the payment of the deposit and utilizes the deposit to offset the amount due after the order is delivered. The processing of the deposit does not require an open sales order in Business Central. It can be linked to a sales quote, or it can be an open deposit which will be linked to a sales order later when the customer order has been processed.

2. Sales Order Prepayment

   This feature allows businesses to set up prepayments at the sales order level, rather than the standard line-by-line prepayment. It offers flexible prepayment setup options, including the ability to calculate prepayment amounts by percentage or to define a fixed prepayment amount. This ensures that businesses can tailor their prepayment processes to meet their specific needs.

3. Purchase Order Prepayment

   Like the Sales Order Prepayment feature, this allows businesses to set up prepayments at the purchase order level. It provides the same flexible prepayment setup options, ensuring consistency and ease of use across sales and purchase transactions.

4. Purchase Order Master Prepayment

   This feature enables businesses to use a master list to combine multiple purchase orders for the same vendor and process prepayments in a consolidated manner. This simplifies the prepayment process and reduces administrative overhead.

5. Sales Order Master Prepayment

   o Like the Purchase Order Master Prepayment, this feature allows businesses to combine multiple sales orders for the same customer and process prepayments in a consolidated manner. This helps streamline the prepayment process and improves efficiency.

6. Advanced Accounts Receivable / Payable Reporting

   This feature enhances the standard reporting capabilities for accounts receivable and payable. It provides advanced reporting options that give businesses better insights into their financial status, helping them make informed decisions and manage their cash flow more effectively.
