Unallocated Receipts/Credits/Customer Deposits

This Help File Page was last Modified on 04/19/2018

Credit Memos, and/or Receipts which have not yet been Allocated to an Invoice, and/or Customer Deposits (which are intended to be a Deposit on Account in anticipation of a future Sale) are listed in the Unallocated Receipts/Credits/Customer Deposits Report.

It is important to keep the number of Unallocated Receipts, Credit Memos and Customer Deposits to a minimum.

As the number of unallocated items increases, so does the chance that a Receipt will be Allocated to the wrong Invoice.

Each month - at a minimum - print the Unallocated Receipts/Credits/Customer Deposits report and attempt to apply those listed to the appropriate outstanding Invoices, where possible.
