Hi Oleg

I would use an invoice adjustment for the difference. The purchase invoice that 
is generated from the purchase order assumes that the invoice will be the same 
as the purchase order. When the real invoice appears it may be different so you 
need to be able to handle any variances and at the moment I think a invoice 
adjustment is an easy way to do it.

Sometimes I struggle a little with how payments have been implemented because I 
think they are being used to for 2 slightly different things. One is the amount 
that needs to be paid, and the other is the application of an amount to an 
invoice.  As OFBiz automatically generates the payment and the amount to be 
paid from the purchase order – it gives you the audit trail of the original 
transaction, so if you start adjusting the payment itself, you start to lose a 
bit of that visibility.

It is your choice and depending on how you want to work, it's flexible enough 
to do both.

I'd be interested to hear what other people have done in this situation too.

Thanks
Sharan
