How to determine unapplied payments & how to correct

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 15

Hello! My company is new to Dynamics business central, and we have been struggling a bit to navigate and get things done the proper way. 

One issue we have is: we have entered deposits(payments) from our customers, but it seems that the associated dollars did not stick or apply to the corresponding invoices. This is making our AR much higher than it actually is. 

What is the easiest way to run a list of this scenario for all customers? And what is the best way to correct this?

Here is an example:

This is within the customer ledger entries screen (sorry if it's blurry):

showing payments, and as you can see, most have a remaining amount of $0. However, some still have the same amount remaining as the original deposit.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    Hi Laci,

    I don't know how many are remained. But you can use Apply Entries from Process on the menu in Customer Ledger Entries.

    If there are payment entries from a customer, the list will be shown in the opened window.

    Great I'll give this a shot, thank you!

    What if a payment covered 5 invoices, and we only initially selected 4. Will we have to unapply the whole payment and reapply, or just apply the missed invoice?

    Choose Payment in Type and click Process > Apply Entries.

    Just apply the missed invoice to the balance of the payment that has not been applied.
