Debtors receipts
Practice Manager only
When a client pays an invoice, the details need to be entered into Practice Manager. When receipts are entered, they reduce the total debtor amount for a client.
If payment is receipted against a client but not allocated against a bill, the amount remains Unallocated.
If an over-payment is made by the client, any amounts not allocated against bills remain Unallocated on the debtors receipt.
Unallocated amounts can be allocated against future bills.
