In Microsoft Dynamics AX, you can make a payment to a vendor in advance of receiving items and services from the vendor. To track this prepayment, you can create an advance invoice for the vendor. When the items and services are delivered, you can apply the prepayment to the amount due to the vendor for the purchase.

The Advance invoices journal report displays vendor advance invoice transactions. The transactions are sorted in the order of vendor account numbers, and then by invoice date. You can filter the report to display a specific vendor account, invoice date, invoice number, and invoice currency, or any combination of these criteria.
