Dynamics 365 Business Central – Why isn’t Payment Tolerance being taken automatically in the Cash Receipt Journal?

Payment Tolerance in Business Central can automatically write off small remaining invoice balances when a payment is applied. The post shows that tolerance is only taken when the Cash Receipt Journal line has Document Type set to Payment; otherwise no tolerance warning appears and no tolerance GL entry posts.

Key points

  • Payment tolerance settings are configured in General Ledger Setup using a percentage of invoice value with a maximum limit
  • Cash receipt journal entries must have Payment as the document type for payment tolerance to apply automatically
  • When correctly applied, an extra GL entry posts to the payment tolerance account
  • Entering a cash receipt without selecting Payment as document type prevents the tolerance warning and GL posting
