STEP BY STEP

Follow the process

  1. 01

    Open the relevant invoice

    Start from the invoice that the customer has paid so the payment is connected to the right record.

  2. 02

    Record the payment

    Enter the supported payment details, including the amount received, and review them before saving.

  3. 03

    Check the balance

    The invoice balance shows what remains outstanding after recorded payments are taken into account.

  4. 04

    Understand the status

    A full payment supports a paid status; a smaller payment leaves the invoice part-paid with a remaining balance.

  5. 05

    Review payment history

    Use the invoice's payment history to understand the payments already recorded.

USEFUL TIPS

A few things worth checking

  • Match the amount to the payment actually received.
  • Record each payment against the correct invoice.
  • Review payment history before recording a payment twice.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Where people can get stuck

Why is an invoice still outstanding?

Check whether the full amount has been recorded. A partial payment leaves a remaining balance.

Does recording a payment move money?

No. It records the payment in Tally Badger; it is not a bank transfer or payment-processing action.
