If you want to pay an invoice from the View Invoices screen (above), click on 'Pay'. You'll see a detailed version of the payment screens, like those below. In the top part of the screen you can alter the 'From Account' field, the Remittance CC email address and the payment Amount.
Account details: Pay from Account, Assign existing payment; Mark as offline payment
Pay From Account
You can choose 'Pay from Account' for a straightforward payment.
Assign existing payment
In the event that you have already released payment or part payment to the invoice creator, you can assign an existing payment to this invoice by selecting the 'Assign existing payment' feature.
Mark as offline payment
The invoice may have been paid via cheque, cash, EFT; this option allows the information to be stored against the invoice.
Remittance advice CC email
This section can be filled in to send the payment remittance advice to a third party.
Amount
This is a compulsory field. An invoice can be part paid but not overpaid.
In the event that part payments have been made against the invoice an updated 'amount outstanding' will appear below the Invoice Amount displayed.
Advance payment option can be selected.
Submit payment
At the bottom of the screen, you'll find options to 'Submit' or 'Cancel'. If you submit this payment, you'll be asked to enter your password before continuing. Remember that only Administrators and Master Administrators have payment authorisation. If you are a normal user, the payment will be 'Pending' until authorised.
More information on authorisation, payment statuses and confirmation of payments is available in section 9.
