Payments Received
Any payment that you receive from a customer can be recorded and applied across their various outstanding invoices. You can also view the payments recorded for the invoices.
View Payments Received
If you have already recorded payments from your customers, you can view them in the Payments Received module. Here’s how:
- Go to the sidebar and click the Payments Received module.
- Click on a payment receipt to view its details.
Record New Payment
While recording a new payment from a customer, you can choose to split the amount received on their outstanding invoices either in full or in part.
Scenario: Patricia receives a payment of $500 from her customer, who has two outstanding invoices of value $300 and $450, respectively. Patricia can split the payment of $500 into $300 for the first invoice (full amount) and $200 for the second invoice (partial amount). So, the second invoice will still have a balance of $250 to be paid.
- Go to the Payments Received module on the sidebar.
- Click the +New button on the top-right corner.
In the Record Payment page:
- Select the customer from whom you’ve received the payment.
- Enter the total amount received in the Amount field, or, click the Pay full amount checkbox to record the full outstanding payment for the customer.

- Split the amount received from the customer (entered in the Amount field) among the outstanding invoices.
- Click Clear applied amount to clear all the amount entered.
