Simple Data Entry
The template uses a very simplified but effective data entry mechanism. You enter just Invoices and Payments.
You enter all invoices in the Invoice table.
All Payments are entered in Payments table.
Payment Types
There are two types of payments – invoice payments and bulk payments.
Invoice payments are payments made against a specific Invoice (via Invoice number). Invoice Payments can be partial or full.
Bulk Payments are payments that are made against multiple invoices. Any payment made without an invoice number is considered a bulk payment.
The template will automatically apply any bulk payment made by customer to invoices that are unpaid for that customer.
Overpayment whether on an invoice or via bulk payment are also appropriately calculated and displayed in Customer report.
