Part 7 Accounting - 17 -
contains the information required to create a deposit ticket (#136 in this case) and to apply payments to any or all
invoices for this customer. All outstanding invoices for this customer will be listed in the Invoices tab.
Using this form, you may apply a
payment to any outstanding invoice or
spread the payment over several
invoices. If the payment does not cover
the invoice balance, you may either
partially pay an invoice, leaving the
remainder unpaid, or partially pan an
invoice and write-off the balance to
uncollectable, bad debt, or allowances
general ledger accounts. The object is to
eventually satisfy the Quantrac 2005
invoice with either payment or write-off
so that the invoice will disappear from
your receivables. (Your company policy
applies here.)

$3,990.00. Also, notice that invoice number Q3983 is highlighted (and the selector box is pointing to that invoice).
