Reviewing invoices and payments containing negative price products

Review the following information to understand how the negative-priced product appears in the invoice and payment details.

Invoice detail

The Invoice detail displays the product in the Invoice lines. When adjusting an invoice, the negative-priced product does not appear as an available product to adjust.

After an invoice is adjusted, the following occurs to the negative-priced product:

• Accrual invoices - The product's balance remains as it was before the adjustment.
  
• Cash invoices - The product's balance becomes 0.00. The negative amount is combined with either the product above or below it.
  

Payment detail

The Payment detail does not display the product with a negative amount. Instead, the product is combined with the preceding positive-priced product. When adjusting the payment, the negative-priced product is not available for adjustment.
