This Help Article covers:

General/Overview:

View Payments displays the payment history of a Sales Invoice, displaying the Amount of a Payment, the Status and the Source. There are three Sources a Payment can be made from:

  • Katipolt - Payments entered from Katipolt Desktop by a User: Status displays as "Complete" and Source displays the Katipolt Icon

  • Digital Invoice Portal - Payments entered from the Digital Invoice Portal by a Customer:

    • If a Stripe Payment, Status displays as "Complete" and Source displays the Stripe Icon

    • If a Bank Transfer, Status displays as "Pending" and Source displays the Katipolt Icon

  • Xero - Payments entered into Xero by a User: Status displays as "Complete" and Source displays the Xero Icon

To Apply a Payment to a Sales Invoice (Mark as Paid)

Quick Flow:

  • Sales Invoice

  • More (3 dots) menu > "Mark as Paid"

  • Amount

  • [SAVE]

1. From the Sales Invoice, Press the More (3 dots) menu, then Select the option "Mark as Paid" to display the "Payments" Popup

2. From the "Payments" Popup, Check/Edit the Amount of the Payment Line, then Check/Edit any other fields of the Payment Line as needed

⚠️ NOTE: The Amount field autopopulates with the Sales Invoice Amount or any Balance Amount. I.E. If a Part Payment has been entered, the next time you select "Mark as Paid", a new Payment Line will autopopulate with the Balance Amount.

3. When Checked/Edited, Press [SAVE]

⚠️ NOTE: On Save, if you have a valid Xero API connection, the Payment entry will be synced to Xero.

Viewing Payments of a Sales Invoice

1. From the Sales Invoice, Press the More (3 dots) menu, then Select the option "View Payments" to display the "Payments" Popup

💡 TIP: The Payments Popup can also be accessed via the Sales Invoice Status chip OR the Amount Paid value of the bottom Invoice Totals.

To Edit/Delete a Sales Invoice Payment

⚠️ NOTE: Editing/Deleting Payment entries is best done from the "View Payment" option.

3. When Edited/Deleted, Press [SAVE]

⚠️ NOTE: On Save, if you have a valid Xero API connection, the changes will be synced to Xero.

💡 TIP: If Deleted and the Payment needs to be re-entered, use the "Mark as Paid" option of the Sales Invoice to re-enter the Payment, see the "To Apply a Payment to a Sales Invoice (Mark as Paid)" Section above.

To Edit the Payments “Xero Account Code” Default

The Xero Account Code of a Payments Popup’s Payment Line defaults to the Bank Account details entered into Xero.

This can be changed if needed by going to: Company Settings > Connected Apps Top Tab > Xero Connection > Accounting Top Tab > Default Supplier Account Expandable, and changing the “Payments Default*"

⚠️ NOTE: Only Accounts (GL Codes) of Xero’s Chart of Accounts, ticked “Enable payments to this account”, will display for Selection in the “Payments Default*” Dropdown.
