Journals > Processing Receivables (Manually Matching)

When receiving a debtor payment if you’re not sure what invoices it relates to, or it’s an advanced payment where the invoice hasn’t been set up yet, you’re able to apply the payment to the debtor without eliminating it against any invoices. The payment can then be handled at a future date in the debtor module.

If the payment does match open AR, you can follow these instructions here.

ELIMINATING THE PAYMENT IN THE DEBTOR AREA

Now, when you go to the debtors list, the debtor you put the payment against will have a yellow triangle next to it, indicating that there’s something to be handled:

Once you have the matching invoice information, go to:

  • The eliminations tab > select the payment in the top half of the screen

  • In the bottom screen > tick the box next to the invoices you wish to allocate it to

  • Then click yes, to finalise the elimination
