To quickly associate a payment to all open invoices, press the Auto Apply button on the right side of the screen. This function will begin with the oldest open invoice and attempt to pay it in full based on the amount of the deposit.
If the entire invoice can be paid by the deposit, the system checks if there is still an amount left on the deposit. If there is, the system will move to the next oldest invoice and attempt to pay it off.
In the result that an invoices amount due is greater then the deposit amount, the entire deposit amount will be applied to the invoice and the invoice will be updated to reflect the remaining balance.
Manually Associating Payments to Invoices
1. | Select the include option to specify the invoice that you would like to associate a payment to. |
