payments Overview

Payments that do not line up

The money arrives in a lump. The invoices do not.

  • check_circleOne transfer covering six invoices, allocated by hand
  • check_circleDeposits taken before an invoice exists, with nowhere to put them
  • check_circleOverpayments written off instead of credited
  • check_circleForeign receipts booked at the invoice rate, hiding the FX result

Select the invoices a receipt covers, part-pay what is short, and settle the rest later.

  • check_circlePart payment with running balance
  • check_circleDiscounts and write-offs on settlement
  • check_circlePayment method and reference captured

Prepayments and overpayments

Money received before an invoice, or more than the invoice, becomes on-account credit that is easy to find and apply.

  • check_circleCustomer and supplier prepayments
  • check_circleOverpayment credit pool
  • check_circleApply credit to a future invoice
  • check_circleRefund what is not going to be used

FX handled at settlement

The settlement rate is used for the cash, and the difference from the document rate posts as realised FX gain or loss.

  • check_circleSettlement rate can be overridden
  • check_circleRealised FX posted automatically
  • check_circleBase-currency reporting stays correct
  • check_circleUnrealised revaluation at period end
help_outline FAQ

Questions, answered

Can one payment settle several invoices?
Yes, in a single batch receipt with the allocation shown line by line.
What if a customer pays too much?
The excess becomes on-account credit that you can apply to a later invoice or refund.
Can I take a deposit?
Yes. Record a prepayment and allocate it when the invoice is raised.
How is FX handled?
The settlement rate drives the cash, and the variance to the invoice rate posts as realised FX.
