- Open the payment screen, party ledger, or related invoice.
- Choose whether this is money received or money paid.
- Enter date, amount, method, and reference details.
- Allocate the amount against open documents or keep it as advance if needed.
- Save the payment and check the outstanding value again.
- If you are unsure, open the party ledger and read the latest lines one by one.
Tip: Use payment notes for reference numbers so future reconciliation is faster.
Important: Do not leave large payments unallocated; it can hide the true outstanding position.
Deterministic allocation keeps the ledger explainable during audits.
