| # Advance installment invoices For long-term projects, such as the building of a ship, you can request prepayments from the business partner before you deliver the goods. When you send an invoice for advance payment to the business partner, the amount must be posted to a separate control account for advance installment invoices or advance receipt requests. The tax amount must be posted when the advance invoice is paid. Infor LN FP2 In Infor LN FP2, no separate control account for advance receipt request is available, and invoiced advance installments and paid advance installments are both posted to the same ledger account. New in Infor LN FP3 In Infor LN FP3, the following functionality was implemented for advance installment invoices: Advance receipt requests control account For each financial business partner group, you can define separate control accounts for advance installment invoices per sales type.
