How To Create a Regular Payment Batch (continued)

Applying Payments – Other Options

Once a customer number has been selected, a list of all invoices with an open balance will be displayed.  If the customer has no open invoices the payment will be applied on the Other tab of the Payment Processing form.  You may apply part of the customer's payment to combination of invoices and "Other" options.

When applying a payment using the Other form, there are four options to distribute the payment amount.  The payment may be distributed to one or a combination of the options available.  Select the checkbox to the left of the option that will be used.  By default, the total amount of the customer payment(or the balance of the payment if some amount was first applied to invoices) will fill into the Amount field for the option selected.  If the payment is being split between multiple options, the User will need to manually change the Amount field in each of the options selected.  The amount(s) entered on the Other form must total the payment amount entered in the header of the Payment Processing form to be able to click the Save button.

Note:  If the User opts to use the Miscellaneous (G/L Account) option, they will need to select the desired GL Account and Category Code according to your company's policies and procedures.
