Payments made to vendors, matched to every bill

Record each payment you send a vendor and apply part or all of it to an open bill. The payment number, method, date, reference, notes and currency stay together on one record.

  • Exact bill allocation and unused amount
  • Reference and notes on every payment
  • Every payment recorded once

How it works

One record for every vendor payment

Select a vendor and bill, enter the amount and date, and Invoice Crowd works out how much the bill uses. Any overpayment stays visible as an unused amount.

Record the payment

Vendor, bill, method and reference together.

Capture the payment details in one side panel

Choose the accounting category, vendor and optional bill, then enter the payment number, method, amount, currency, date, notes and reference. The reference number and notes keep every detail with the payment.

The Payment Method list on an Invoice Crowd vendor payment, recording how the money was sent

Record how you paid

Pick the method you used to send the money, so your records show exactly how each bill was settled and every payment is ready to match in Bank Reconciliation.

Allocate to a bill

Bills settle to the exact amount owed.

Invoice Crowd payments made list with a payment larger than its bill: the bill uses what it owes and the rest shows as unused

Apply exactly what the bill owes

Invoice Crowd applies the smaller of the bill's balance and the payment amount. The bill moves to Partial or Paid, and any excess stays on the payment as an unused amount.

Editing a vendor payment in Invoice Crowd: the earlier allocation is reversed before the new amount is applied to the bill

Edit with confidence

Change a payment and its earlier allocation is reversed before the new amount is applied, so the bill's balance is always right.

Reliable, in any currency

Accurate totals, every time.

Invoice Crowd payments made list where a repeated save of the same vendor payment returns the payment already recorded instead of adding a second one

Recorded once, even on a retry

If a save is interrupted and you try again, Invoice Crowd recognizes the payment and returns the one already recorded, so nothing is entered twice.

Pay in any currency

A payment keeps its payment currency, accounting currency, exchange rate, converted amount and any adjustment. Converted totals are calculated for you, so the figures always agree.

Questions

Payments Made, answered

How much of a payment is applied to a bill?

Invoice Crowd applies the smaller of the bill's balance and the payment amount. The remainder stays visible as an unused amount on the payment.

What happens when the payment is smaller than the bill?

The bill becomes partially paid, its balance drops by the amount applied, and the payment stays linked to it.

Can I keep the payment reference with a vendor payment?

Yes. A vendor payment carries a payment number, reference number, notes, date and currency, so the bank or check reference stays with the record.

What if I save the same payment twice by accident?

It's recorded once. If a save is repeated, Invoice Crowd returns the payment already recorded for that business instead of adding a second one.

Can I edit a bill-linked payment from the list?

A payment recorded with Record Payment on the bill shows Undo from the Bill in this list and is changed from the bill. A payment entered here and applied to a bill can be edited or deleted when your permissions allow, which reopens the bill balance. Payments matched in a closed bank reconciliation stay protected until that statement is reopened.

Every vendor payment, clearly on record

Record what you paid, see what each bill used and keep any unused amount in view.
