Adding Payment Credit
The system allows you to add manual or automatic invoice payments that are due for payment by clients.
In order for you to add payments manually, you need to deactivate the automatic payment option.
Make sure that the “Auto Pay Invoices if the Client Has Available Credit” checkbox is unchecked from Sales > Sales Settings > General Invoice/ Estimate Settings.
Please refer to the tutorial “Invoice/ Estimate Settings” for more information.
