Overview

Partial payments allow you to process invoices when only part of a PO has been received or billed. This ensures accurate tracking in Microix and smooth integration with MIP Accounting.

Assumptions before starting:

  1. Purchase Order has been created.

  2. Purchase Order submitted to the vendor.

  3. Partial goods/services received.

  4. Partial invoice received.

  5. Purchase Order is at the correct approval level.


⚙️ Pre-Requisites (Admin Only)

Important Rule

Only approvers whose workflow has both Go To and Else levels set to Level 12 – Documents Approved can create partial payments.

Administrator Tasks

  • Review workflows to confirm approval routing was configured for document type "Invoice".

  • Review global settings related to partial payment processing via Maintenance > Global Settings

  • GSID 43 – Receiving Required

    • ON = must receive goods/services before payment.

    • OFF = can pay without receiving.

  • GSID 124 – Partial Payment Document Status

    • By default, partial payment status will be set to the purchase order status, if you need to set the partial pay to a different status, then enter a status between 0 and 10.
