Payment allocations to Accounts Receivable

Allocate customer payments in Bank Transactions when cash should clear Accounts Receivable, resulting in the correct receivable outcome before sync.

Workflow

Step 1

Create invoices in QuickBooks

Complete this action so customer payments clear the right open invoices.

Step 2

Open Bank Transactions

Start in Bookkeeping > Bank Transactions and select the bank accounts you want to review so payment rows are visible.

Step 6

Enter allocations

Fill or type allocation amounts until the total allocated amount exactly matches the payment amount. Once the difference is zero, click Save to persist the allocation.

Before you allocate

Verify the transaction really represents a customer payment and not another kind of cash movement that should be handled differently. Open invoices or remittances must already be synced into Truewind, and the selected matches must share the same payee.

Limitations

Matches depend on synced receivables

Open invoices or remittances must already be available in Truewind before they can appear as payment allocation matches.

Troubleshooting

No matches appear in the Find Matches dialog.

Sync Accounts Receivable activity first, then reopen the payment transaction and run Find Matches again.
