Pre-payment amount = Invoice amount	Report for period should include invoice-based information.
Prepayment amount < Invoice amount.	Report for period should include invoice-based information.
Prepayment amount > Invoice amount. In this case, the rest of the prepayment should be settled in the same period with a reverse payment of difference: (Prepayment amount - Invoice amount).	Report for period should include invoice-based information. Report for period should include reverse of difference: (Prepayment amount - Invoice amount) in relation with reverse payment on difference document (doc.number, date) and Box6 = "4".
Pre-payment is posted in one period and the related invoice is posted in the next period
Pre-payment amount = Invoice amount	Report for period where pre-payment is posted should include all the prepayment amount. Box6 = "3". No prepayment, no invoice should be reported on the report for the next period when the invoice is posted.
Prepayment amount < Invoice amount.	Report for period where pre-payment is posted should include all the prepayment amount. Box6 = "3". Report for the next period when the invoice is posted should include difference: (Invoice amount – Prepayment amount) in relation with invoice (doc.number, date) and Box6 = "1".
Prepayment amount > Invoice amount. In this case, the rest of the prepayment should be settled in invoice period with a reverse payment of difference: (Prepayment amount - Invoice amount).	Report for period where pre-payment is posted should include all the prepayment amount. Box6 = "3". Report for the next period when the invoice is posted should include reverse of difference: (Prepayment amount - Invoice amount) in relation with reverse payment on difference document (doc.number, date) and Box6 = "4".
