Allocating Payments to Specific Invoice Items
1. To allocate payments manually, click the Edit icon in the Allocation column of the payment.
This will display the Manual Allocation window and allow you to specify the allocation of that payment. In this case we are allocating all payments to the second item.
Click Apply to Items to confirm the manual allocation.
2. Repeat Step 1 as needed to manually allocate any remaining payments.
Payments allocated this way will show as Manual in the Allocation column, which can be changed at any time.
Use the drop-down menu to change the allocation method at any time.
Please note any Unallocated payments or Overpayments (payments which exceed the amount owed) will become a Credit upon saving.
