    Ah yes, silly me, I forgotten that i'm at Vendor Ledger entries, hence of course we refer to paying the vendors. Thank you for all your help! much Appreciate it!

    As Ismael say. When you are talking vendor ledger entries. Payment is your company paying your vendor and invoice is the vendor invocing you.

    You have the same document types for customer ledger entries. Then payment is payments you receive from your customer and invoices are invoice you send to your customer.

    Hi Josh

    The difference is that `Payment´ is about items/services that your company has or its about to pay, while `Invoice´ means items/services that your company is about to invoice or has invoiced. The red colour shows you if there´s still open or its closed (not red).

    In this case you asked about vendor ledger entries therefore we are talking about Payments and Invoices done to Vendors. But the same will apply if we were in Customer Ledger Entries.

    I hope its helps

    Hi Inge,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I understand that they are document types, i meant what is the difference?

    To have some clarity,

    Does Payment means my company paying the vendor? Or the customers paying us? or Both?

    Does Invoice means my company invoice the vendors? or my company invoice the customers? or Both?

    Hi, adding to Inge's reply, you can use Navigate to find the source of the record.

    For payment:

    For Invoice:

    For the font:

    Red + bold + italic indicates that the invoice has not been paid after the due date. (Open)
    Red + italics indicates that payment has been applied, but is past due. (Not Open)

    Hope this will help.

    Thanks.

    The payment and invoice are document types. So they tell you what kind of document the transaction have originated from.

    Entries that are red are overdue entries that are yet not applied to any other transactions meaning they are still open.
