Understanding Posting Payments
The greatest percentage of payments you'll make in the Accounts Receivable Posting window are checks that cover the entire balance of a customer's account or specific invoices on a particular account. This window lets you quickly apply a designated amount to an invoice for a specific account.
Occasionally, you might need to apply the funds from one check to two or more customer accounts. This is common for agencies such as school boards and the government. This lets you apply a single check amount to multiple accounts.
