About Customer Payments
Customer Payments are used to record receipt of payment for prior invoices charged to a customer. ManageMore makes it easy to apply payments of any type to open invoices on an account. From this same screen (see Figure 5-2), you can accept cash, check, credit card (with automatic authorization, if desired), or any other payment method you define. You also have the choice to apply the amount to the oldest invoice first (FIFO), or to particular open invoices you specify. These payments can then be selected for deposit, collected in a cash drawer, or automatically posted, based on your payment method selection.
