entering payments for a newer invoice before an older one

[DataDaveR]

I have a customer with two outstanding invoices, they have paid me for the newer invoice and I want to enter the payment against the invoice that they have paid.

 

I click apply payments, enter the date of the payment, enter the amount of the payment.

 

the amount is automatically applied to the oldest invoice,

 

I guess normally a customer will pay the oldest invoice first but when they don't how do I apply the payment to the correct invoice?

 

I've tried deleting the default entry to try entering the amount against the correct invoice but as soon as I click against the correct invoice the amount re-appears against the oldest invoice.

Hi Dave. Open your invoices list. Highlight (single click) the invoice you wish to apply payment to. Click on "Payment" at the top of the window (nestled between "Save" and "Credit Note"), payment box opens up, apply the payment.

Wow, Thank you... Silly me. I was trying to apply the payment by going to the apply payment screen.
