How Allocations Work
When you place a credit on a customer or supplier account, being typically a payment from a customer or to a supplier, you need to identify which debit or debits that payment was for. The process of linking one or more debits to a credit is known as allocation.
The allocation process can be manual or automatic. The manual process is generally done by selecting the credit line in the transaction list together with any number of debit lines with amounts due. You then use the Allocate a Credit button.
Each debit and credit is assigned a unique allocation serial number. The system will then create an allocation file record for each debit. In these records are the debit allocation serial number and the associated credit’s serial number. These serial numbers are also stored in originating transaction records. With the resulting cross-reference table produced, the system can thereafter identify exactly which invoices have been paid by which payment.
