Q - In the KB article: https://support.netcellent.com/portal/en/kb/articles/feature-support-for-discount-amount-and-reference-in-cash-receipts-detail-interface, I see we can use negative amounts with Detail Cash Receipt CSV Import to create debit memos. The following is the sample of my CSV file:

In the pre-interface report, the system complains about those negative value entries with the following message:
   *** Error on Line# 999999 : Distribute Amount Is Greater Than Invoice Balance
See sample screen below:


What happened?

A -  If you look at the same KB article, it advises you to put the negative values after the positive values.  Therefore, you can re-arrange your CSV file as follows:
646521,,123456,123456,123,1/17/2024,1996.2,CIO927,599.99,,,

646521,,123456,123456,123,1/17/2024,1996.2,CIZ677,451,,,

646521,,123456,123456,123,1/17/2024,1996.2,CYC792,-254.79,,,
646521,,123456,123456,123,1/17/2024,1996.2,CYE723,-629,,,
646521,,123456,123456,123,1/17/2024,1996.2,CYE722,-149.99,,,
646521,,123456,123456,123,1/17/2024,1996.2,CYE718,-490,,,
646521,,123456,123456,123,1/17/2024,1996.2,CYE726,-352,,,

Then  import again.  This time, the pre-interface report will show as follows:
