customer payment 3 times

This was a previous question:  I have had the same customer pay the same invoice 3 times. The first payment was matched to the initial invoice. The 2nd invoice was also matched using the "Closed invoices" option and thus created a credit. Now when I try and allocate the 3rd payment via Bank Fee "Receive Payment" option and select "Closed Invoices" tab that invoice number doesn't come up as there is a CREDIT balance against it. How can I allocate this 3rd overpayment?

I have the same problem. 

A solution was given to create a credit invoice, which I did and this now shows that the customer has an increase to their available credit balance.

 

But how do I receipt the customers payment in the bank?

    Hi Learoy,

    Yes, you're on the right track in making a credit note. To receipt the customer's payment in the bank, please visit this help pages for detailed instructions:

    Receiving payments
    Customer returns, credits and refunds.

    If you're having issues, this may need further assistance on the backend. Make sure to reach out to our support team directly. You can reach them on Live Chat via our virtual assistant, MOCA or by submitting a support case via MyAccount.

    Hi Earl,

    Thank you for your reply. I read those instructions but they only show how to record the 2nd overpayment not the 3rd payment as there is no closed invoice in the list to apply this 3rd payment to. I will try the virtual assistant & see how that goes. 

     

    Regards,

    Learoy.

  • Hi Learoy, 

     

    I've had similar issues the way i resolved this was to increase the original invoice on a second line item by 1c ($0.01) allocate the payment through bank feeds to create the credit, then edit the invoice to remove the additional 1c so full credit amount applied to that invoice.

    Hope this helps resolve your issue.
