In Accounts Payable credit memo and debit memo are entered
with -ve amount but in Accounts Receivable why credit memo
has -ve amonut and debit memo + ve?

Answer Posted / swathi

In Oracle terms
credit memo and debit memo decrease the liability and they
are applied against an invoice.
The only difference is
credit memo is initiated from supplier end
Debit memo is initiated from our end.

If we want to increase the liability in payables either you
have to create a seperate invoice or do some workaround to
achieve it through DM/CM.

IN Receivables the concept is pretty clear as credit memo
has -ve amount and debit memo is +ve.

I have created an invoice and made the payment in Accounts payable. Now the payment status is Negotiable and accounting status is processed. I reconciled the transaction in Cash Mgmt, The status changed from negotiable to Reconciled in CM. I checked the payment status for the invoice in payment window(AP), the payment status changed to RECONCILED UNACCOUNTED i.e correct but the accounting status is remain processed which is not the correct. I hope the transaction will be correct if the accounting status would have changed to PERTIAL . Please suggest any solution for the above query.
