HOW TO: Allocate a Payment to an Item on a Sales Order

To allocate a payment to items on your sales order, first create a new sale.

After your sales order is created and you’ve taken a payment, you will be prompted to allocate the payment to the items on the sales order.

If you do not want to allocate the payment evenly by % paid, you can edit the dollar amount or % of payment amount to each item.

  • Let’s say you want to pay off the Wyatt Veil, you would then allocate the total amount (tax included) by typing in $214.92 into the text box.
  • Next, you will need to zero out the amount that is currently in the Stevie item to see what the remaining balance is that I have to allocate (unless you want to do the math yourself).
  • Once that dollar amount is entered, click ‘Save Allocation

Your sales order will now reflect the remaining item balance for each item on the sales order.

Note: Items fully paid off on sales orders with outstanding balances will show up within reporting as follows:

  • Daily Payments Report: In order to match your processing batches, paid items will show on the date payment is made
  • Accrual Accounting Method Report: Will reflect the date items are picked up or sold out of stock or are serviced
  • Cash Accounting Method Report: Will reflect the date of transaction
  • Payment Journal Method Report: Will reflect the date payment is made
