How to pick up a credit against an invoice

KB82

The only way for an invoice or a credit to be “paid off” or “picked up” is to allocate them on a Receipt. A credit is “picked up” against an invoice simply by allocating the credit and the invoice together on the same receipt. The net value of the receipt may in fact end up being zero, simply by allocating a credit to multiple invoices. This will clear them all out but transact no money into your bank account.

  1. Create a receipt
  2. Select the Customer
  3. Down the bottom of the receipt in the Invoice Allocations, select the invoices
    1. One or more will be the invoices you want to pay
    2. One or more will be the credits you want to apply
    3. The column showing “Applied (Gross) ” will be the amount of value applied (“taken up”) on the invoice
  4. If you only want to take up a credit against invoices and not receipt any money from the customer, ensure that the total amount applied is zero
