Posting Payments Against Orders – Feature Overview

Overview

This feature allows you to record and post incoming payments for invoices and orders you have created. The system automatically monitors the payment status and marks fully paid invoices accordingly. This gives you the option to record payments against orders in advance, for example, to track down payments.

The system will notify you whether the posting was successful:
