How to place remittance payments in advance¶

Pre-requisite¶

Before following this guide, you must start a new remittance. This is required to access the remittance fields (Payment Remittance Header, Payment Remittance Details) and view your Unallocated Credit.

Overview¶

This guide walks you through placing remittance payments in advance, including how to use unallocated funds to remit charges. Advance payments and unallocated funds allow you to process payments before full approval, giving you greater flexibility in your accounting workflow.

Placing Advance Payments¶

Notice the 'Unallocated Credit' is zero dollars.

Enter the advance amount in the 'Payment Amount (incl.)' input box.

Enter a reference for this payment in the 'Bank Reference' input box (e.g. a payment description or deposit reference).

Select the 'Complete' button.

Checking Unallocated Funds¶

Locate the 'Unallocated Credit' above the 'Payment Remittance Header' section.

Using Unallocated Funds¶

Check your unallocated total.

Notice there is 'Unallocated Credit' available.

Locate the 'Payment Remittance Details' section.

Select a charge-out.

Notice a list of charges appears.

Notice the 'Difference' is equal to the 'Unallocated Credit'. The 'Difference' represents your remaining unallocated balance.

Tick the checkbox for each charge you want to remit.

Notice the 'Difference' decreases as you select charges.

Enter a reference for this payment in the 'Bank Reference' input box (e.g. a payment description or deposit reference).

Select the 'Complete' button.

To confirm that the total decreased, start a new remittance and notice the decrease in your 'Unallocated Credit'.
