Why can't I spread my payment or credit across an invoice?

Distribution is the association of a payment or credit with an invoice.

This is therefore the first thing to check when an amount does not appear correctly in an account statement, in the accounts receivable/payable, or in a payment when we choose which invoice we want to apply our payment to.

To do this, go to the Reports tab from the folder and then to the Financial Summary tile.

Step 1: Select all transactions and cancel distribution at the top right.

The results will be seen in the column where all the amounts appear.

Step 2: Select all transactions again and click on “Auto-Distribute Selected Transactions”.

The amounts in the balance column should all be, or nearly all, 0. If so, the distribution is correct. The remaining amounts mean that there are still amounts due or overpaid (in the negative).

If the balance due is 0 but an amount has not been distributed automatically, double-click the payment or credit to distribute it manually. Click the invoice to which you want to apply the payment or credit and click the green check mark.

Note that it is also possible to correct the distribution of supplier transactions.
