Allocation

Select if the invoice will be paid in full (Full), or only a portion of it (Partial).

The Full option will ensure that no other checks can be allocated to the invoice.

Invoice Summary  

The Undistributed amount is zero when the total value of the post dated checks (PD collected amount) has been fully distributed.

The PD collected amount is the total value of the Post Dated Checks collected for the collector run.

The Collector run number will be displayed when the program is called from the collector run maintenance program (Collector Run Maintenance).

The Allocated to current customer is the total value of the Post Dated Checks allocated to the selected customer for the current collector run.

The Allocated to other customers is the total value of the Post Dated Checks allocated to all other customers for the current collector run.

Notes and warnings

Restrictions and limits

  • Although post dated checks are assigned to a customer, they are not included in the customer's account balance.

  • Post dated checks cannot be posted to a sub account when the invoices are held against the master account (Browse on Master Sub-accounts).

Invoice maintenance details considerations

  • The total in the Amount column is used to calculate the Allocated to current customer and Undistributed amount values. We recommend you do not change the properties of the column to Row Count as this will affect these calculations.
