Applying Partial Payments to Bills

Overview
Allocate part of a payment to one bill and leave the remainder open, enabling flexible cash‑flow management.

Steps

1. Click Add Vendor Payment.

2. Select vendor and enter total Payment Made.

3. In Bill Details, for the target bill enter a Payment amount less than the Amount Due.

4. Leave the remainder unallocated (it will show under Amount in Excess).

5. Click Save.

Tips

• Track outstanding balances easily by leaving partial amounts due.

• Use internal notes to explain split payments (e.g. “Paid 50% due to cash‑flow”).

Troubleshooting

• Full amount applied automatically? Enter the payment amount before clicking Pay in Full.

• Excess amount wrong color? Positive excess means credit; negative means over‑allocation—adjust allocation.
