NOTE The Paid Amount column brings forward the ‘Invoice Paid’ column value found in the Payments pop-up window. The Outstanding PO Amount column is calculated as the PO amount minus the paid amount. This is to ensure the outstanding PO amount is represented correctly in cases where there is a difference during voucher entry, with the invoice amount being not entirely allocated to the PO receipts details. Also, partial payments on the invoices need to be accounted for when calculating outstanding PO amount. Users should be aware that the Outstanding PO Amount column may have negative values when the paid amount is in excess of the PO amount.
