What it is for

Advance invoices are not posted, so no ledger report lists them. This workbook does. It shows every advance issued with sale_order_advance_invoice and received with purchase_order_advance_invoice, with how much has been paid on each, how much tax documents cover and how much the final invoices have already deducted. Use it to check, at a month or year end, which advances are still open, which still lack a tax document and which were never paid.

Producing it

By default an advance is listed if any of these holds: its open amount is not zero, it is waiting for a tax document, or it is not paid or only partly paid. Cancelled advances are never listed.

What the workbook contains

Two sheets, Issued advances and Received advances, with the same columns, one row per advance, sorted by date and number:

Column Meaning
Number ADV… or PADV…
Partner, Date, Currency the customer or supplier, the advance's date, its currency
Total the advance invoice's total including VAT
Paid issued: the payments received; received: the sum of the linked payments
Paid Date the date of the last payment
Tax Documented the gross total of the posted tax documents
Deducted the gross amount deducted on posted final invoices
Open (Paid − Deducted) what has been paid and not yet deducted
Payment Status, Accounting Status as on the advance

Only posted invoices count as deducted, on both sheets. For issued advances that includes deductions on the parent order's final invoice and deductions of an advance without an order made with Link Advance Invoices. Paid on issued advances includes completed payments only, not card payments that are merely authorised.

All amounts are in the advance's own currency, without conversion or totals. Sheet names and column headings are in the language of the user who exports.
