Organizations can now post a payment that predates the invoice that it is applied to.
Feature Details
Fundamentals has added a switch to Sales & Receivables Setup to Allow Early AR Payments.
With this switch set to true, users can predate a payment and apply to an older invoice. For example, an invoice is dated 5/1/2026, but the payment is issued today on 4/15/2026.
When allowing early payments, Business Central will allow a user to apply and post the transaction. With the switch set to No, the user will get the following error when trying to apply the payment.
Note - The same functionality exists on the vendor side in the Purchase & Payables Setup page.
