payment allocation

HI this is my problem that i need a solution for.
I am testing solar fro my accounts system. And This is what I need to do.
So I create a customer ok .
I create an invoice for customer to pay
I then put a payment into the bank ,but its has come in throught a PDQ so it has lots of paments in there not just the one I need to alocate to as paid.
So I put the pament in but it say payment is too large.

Hi Gary,

The simplest solution is to record two transactions for that day:

  1. A Money Received transaction with the Type set to 'Invoice Payment' and allocated to the customer's invoice (you can do this at the time the invoice is created by entering a value in the Paid Today field)

  2. A Money Received transaction with the Type set to 'General Payment' and the From Account set to 'Sales Income'. The amount received should be the PDQ daily takings less the amount of the payment in step 1.

Does that work for you?

Regards,
