Bank Payments

Here you can mark the invoices as partially or fully paid.

The list on bank payments

Under ‘Payments‘ – ‘Bank Payments‘ you can see the list of all bank payments. By default, you can see payments from the beginning of the previous month until today. For the older payments to be displayed in the list, just change the date range in the date filter.

To find a specific payment, try to search by the name of other party or by choosing one bank account. Please keep in mind that the date range can interfere with your search so if you’re looking for a specific payment allow the date range to be large enough for the payment to be in that range.

Overpayment

The overpayment is a transaction where your customer pays you accidentally a larger amount you’ve invoiced for or you accidentally overpay your vendor.

To record overpayment on sales invoice or purchase invoice, please add a new bank payment (‘Payments’ – ‘Bank Payments’ – ‘Add new’) and select a client or a vendor. Again, tick the invoice your client has paid (this will allocate only a part of the total payment amount) and add the exceeding amount as a prepayment.

The overpaid amount will be shown as a prepayment in prepayments report (‘Reports’ – ‘Other Reports’ – ‘Client Prepayments’/’Vendor Prepayments’) and this can be used to settle a new invoice in the future for example.
