Assign prepayment across 2 invoices

[smithdrp]

I’ve paid £400 deposit to a supplier against 2 invoices (£200 each).

I have logged the payment as a prepayment but cannot work out how to allocate this across 2 invoices. I can “Apply from credit” to assign £400 to one invoice. If I enter an amount to assign, I’m forced to complete the bank account. Is there a way to do this?

Hello @smithdrp

Open the invoice
Click Log Payment

Tick Apply from credit (GBP400.00)

Repeat from the second invoice (Ticking Apply from credit (GBP200.00))

Hi @QFSteve , each invoice is for £520 but I only want to log £200 against each one. Doing what you suggest logs £400 against the first one and means there is nothing to assign against the second one!

Hello @smithdrp

In that case pay £200 against each invoice as shown below

Then go into the prepayment and refund the balance using the same bank

The net effect on the bank will be correct

Thanks @QFSteve . I did it differently:

1. modified the first invoice to be £200 and logged the payment against it
2. apply the balance of £200 to the second one
3. reset the first invoice to £520
   Seems to have worked and avoided the need for bank entries!
