The Multiple Invoice Payment Allocation feature allows you to distribute a single customer payment across several outstanding invoices, streamlining payment processing when customers send bulk payments to cover multiple bills. This capability is essential for managing customers who make consolidated payments rather than paying each invoice individually.
Exacc provides flexible allocation methods including automatic allocation to oldest invoices first, manual allocation where you specify amounts for each invoice, or intelligent distribution that pays invoices in full before applying partial payments. The system displays all outstanding invoices for the customer, showing balances and due dates to help you make informed allocation decisions.
The payment allocation interface provides real-time tracking of remaining unallocated amounts, ensures you do not exceed the total payment received, and updates all affected invoice statuses simultaneously. You can allocate partial amounts to invoices, leave some payment unallocated for future invoices, and add notes documenting the allocation rationale for audit purposes.
