Apply Method
The Apply Method field lets you specify a default method for allocating partial payments to details on job-related invoices that use different contracts, projects, and categories.
You can select one of the following methods:
Top Down
Select this method to apply payments automatically to invoice details beginning with the first detail on an invoice until the payment is fully applied.
If you use this method to apply a payment to an invoice that uses a multiple payment schedule, note that you may have to adjust the amounts manually. For invoices that use a multiple payment schedule, it is preferable to prorate the payment by amount.
- Prorate
By Amount
Select this method to apply payments proportionately to all invoice details, depending on their relative amounts.
