Payments journal

This screen lists all payments recorded against your customer invoices, showing the amount received during the period and the payment method used. It serves as the reference journal for all payments actually received.

What it is for

An invoice can be paid in one or more instalments, using various methods (cheque, bank transfer, card, cash). This screen groups all these payments into a single chronological list, regardless of their source (manual entry, automatic cash application, till). You can quickly locate the payment for a specific invoice or customer, and the total amount received over the filtered period gives you an overview of incoming cash flow. This is the checkpoint to consult when a customer claims to have paid an invoice that still appears as outstanding.
