Recording a Payment
Once the invoice is confirmed, you can record the customer's payment.
Step by Step
- Open the confirmed invoice. You can get there from the sales order (click the invoice smart button) or from Invoicing → Invoices.
- Click Register Payment.
- In the payment dialog:
- Journal — Select "Bank" (for card/check/wire) or "Cash"
- Amount — Pre-filled with the invoice total. Adjust for partial payments.
- Payment Date — Today's date by default
- Memo — Optional. Add a check number or reference.
- Click Create Payment.
The invoice status changes to In Payment and then Paid.
Payment Methods
- Cash — Select the Cash journal. The customer pays with bills and coins.
- Credit/Debit Card — Processed through your NMI integration (see Payments section).
- Check — Select Bank journal and note the check number in the Memo field.
Tip: Once an invoice is paid, the sales order automatically updates to reflect that. You do not need to update the sales order separately.
