AR: Applying Unapplied Payments

Use this procedure to apply Unapplied Cash in Accounts Receivable.

Preparation

You will need the following information to apply Unapplied Cash:

  • General Ledger Cash Account Number
  • Deposit Date
  • Payment Type
  • Customer Number

To apply unapplied payments:

  1. On the Accounts Receivable navigation pane select Payments.
  2. Click the Unapplied Payments button.
  3. Locate the customer's Unapplied Payment entry on the Lookup Payments screen.
    Notice that the Show Only Unapplied Payments check box is selected by default when accessing from the AR: Payments screen.
  4. Select the Unapplied Payment entry, and then click the Select button.
  5. The Lookup Payments screen closes, and the unapplied amount displays in the Amount Left field. This amount remains until you have completed posting the payment.
  6. Select the Apply? check box next to the invoice where you want to apply the payment. Once you click the Apply? check box, the payment moves from the Outstanding Invoices section to the Applied Invoices section.
  7. If the check amount you applied covers the entire invoice amount, the invoice information moves from the Outstanding Invoices list to the Applied Invoices list. If the check amount you applied does NOT cover the entire invoice amount, the invoice remains on both lists showing the amount paid and the amount remaining.
