Specifies the prepayment percentage if you want to apply a prepayment to all lines on the purchase order.

If a prepayment percentage is set up for the vendor in general, that prepayment percentage will automatically appear in this field.

The prepayment percentage on the purchase header can apply to all types of lines: G/L Account, Item, Fixed Asset, and Item Charge. If the Prepayment % field is filled in on the header before you fill in a purchase line with an item, the prepayment percentage only applies to the line if there is no default prepayment percentage set up for the item. However, if you change the contents of this field after you fill in the purchase lines, the prepayment percentage will apply to all the lines.

Do not enter the percent sign. For example, if the prepayment percentage is 7.5%, simply enter 7.5.
