Allocate an Unallocated Payment
Unallocated Payments are allocated using a Zero Payment. Create a new payment as usual. The credit balance shows on the payment screen.
Use the double-ended arrows to autofill the Apply Credit field with the full credit balance, or enter the applicable amount for the payment.
Available invoices display. Use Auto Pay to allocate the credit in full, working from the oldest invoice forward, or select specific invoices to pay. Enter the allocation in the Paying Now field.
When the payment has been applied to the appropriate invoices, select Post to complete. The notification pop-up confirms the payment allocation and any outstanding credit remaining.
The payment is recorded against the supplier account and can be viewed from Supplier > Enquiry. The payment displays on the Payments tab where it is recorded with $0 value.
Open the payment to cross-reference the original invoice and unallocated payment.
The Transactions tab shows the Outstanding Balance of the original Unallocated payment. If the payment has been applied in full, clear the filter to show the payment with no remaining balance.
