Calc Only Portion of DP is used for entering the total down payment amount without entering the actual cash receipts.  This field is only used when one person (or department) enters invoices and a different person (or department) enters down payments and cash receipts.  The Down payment is considered payment number zero, with no interest.  The amortization schedule is then based on the financed amount or balance after down payments are considered.  Whether the actual receipt is entered or an amount is entered into the "Calc only DP" field, the amortization schedule is calculated with that amount subtracted from the invoice amount.  Principle and interest amounts for the entire contract cycle is calculated and stored.
