Customer Payments

Use Customer Payments to receive and record Payments made by the Customer.

•	Unapplied Payments - simply capture the Payment as received and save it to apply later (sometimes used to reserve Customer deposits towards a Job)

•	Applied Payments - distribute Payments completely or partially to various existing Invoices

Use this function also to generate Credit Memos. In other words, the Customer has not paid anything in this case. Your company is giving Credit for a specific amount to the Customer, which can be applied to pay Invoices in the Customer's account.

Unapplied Payments:

Every time you create a new Payment, a Payment entry for this Customer will be saved, with the original Payment amount, no matter how much of it has been applied to Invoices.

Applied Payments:

You can apply a Payment when you first create the record, as explained below in Display the Customer Payment Screen.
