Now you are ready to either select the Full or Part next to the invoice you require the payment to be allocated to. If you select part a bow will appear asking you the value.
If paying off more than one invoice continue as above until the amount has been allocated, you can view the totals next to the payment with a running total.
You can view paid as well and unpaid in this area and if you need to print off a payment allocation list for any payments received you can by highlighting the payment and then clicking the print icon towards to bottom centre of the screen.
