Depending on how you configured this option upon registration, Billdozer will either automatically allocate receipts to the oldest unpaid invoices (Automatic – oldest first) or you will be able to select which invoices to allocate the money to (Manually allocate). You can change this setting after registration, see General Settings > Billing Rules > Accounting rules tab.
Click in the Date Issued From and To fields and select the dates from the respective calendars to determine the receipts you want to display. Click Go to generate a list of all receipts issued within the selected date range.
By default this screen displays existing receipts allocated to invoices. It also allows you to generate and allocate a new receipt to indicate payment against a specific invoice.
You can filter the list items to display by selecting the radio button, Show All – to return all receipts, Unallocated – to return a list of receipts with amounts that are unallocated only, or Allocated – to return a list of receipts with amounts that have been allocated.
The Re-process Unallocated button allows you to allocate receipts that have outstanding amounts to any new invoices. The total number of invoices that are available for receipt allocation is shown next to this button.
Once a receipt is created it will be sent automatically or manually (depending on your email settings – see Messaging > Automated Email).
Note: Filter the list by column heading to obtain a more streamlined list (see Common Tasks/Filtering Lists for more details).
