This guide explains the processing of a purchase invoice when a garnishment portion needs to be deducted.
If a company receives a purchase invoice from which a garnishment portion needs to be deducted, the invoice can be paid in two installments. First, pay the invoice amount minus the garnishment portion normally to the vendor. The invoice remains open for the amount of the garnishment portion. Then, pay the garnishment portion separately, for example, as a bank transfer.
Once the bank transfer is paid and appears on the bank statement, you can, for example, record a manual payment on the purchase invoice and link the receipt to the bank statement transaction. Once the payment is linked to the purchase invoice, the invoice status changes to paid.

In Netvisor's accounts payable, it is possible to set a payment prohibition for a vendor, which prevents the payment of all the vendor's invoices. The payment prohibition prevents the payment of all the vendor's invoices, so it does not need to be done manually for each invoice. Once the payment prohibition is set, it applies to all the vendor's invoices unless specifically restricted in the rule. If you have already set the payment prohibition in the vendor register, this handling method is ready, and no additional actions are needed for each invoice.
If 1/3 of the purchase invoices are under payment prohibition and 2/3 should be paid to the vendor, you can proceed as follows:
- First, pay 2/3 of the invoice to the vendor normally.
- Leave 1/3 of the invoice unpaid due to the payment prohibition.
- Once the payment prohibition is set in the vendor register, it automatically prevents the payment of the portion under payment prohibition.
