<h2 id="header-fields">Header Fields Reference</h2>

| **Field** | **Description** |
|-----------|-----------------|

<hr class="doc-section-divider">

<h2 id="amount-calculation">Amount Calculation</h2>

For most receipt types, the net amount is calculated as:

<b>Amount = Gross Amount − Adjustment Amount + Sale Debit Adjustment − Cash Discount − TDS Amount − CGST TDS − SGST TDS</b>

<p><b>Sale Debit Adjustment</b> applies only to the <b>Sale Invoice</b> type and increases the amount collected; the other deduction fields reduce it.</p>

<p>On the customer ledger, the customer account is credited for <b>Gross Amount − Adjustment Amount</b>. Cash discount, TDS, and GST TDS are posted as separate entries. On <a href="#/sales/reports/customer-statement">Customer Statement</a>, the main receipt line shows the net <b>Amount</b> collected; deduction lines appear separately so the running balance matches the ledger.</p>

<b>Exceptions by transaction type</b>

<ul>
<li><b>Sale Invoice</b>, <b>Debit Note</b>, and other standard types — cash discount and TDS reduce the amount actually collected. For <b>Sale Invoice</b>, sale debit notes added in <b>Sale Debit Adjustments</b> add to the amount.</li>
<li><b>Group Customer</b> — <b>Amount</b> is the net cash after credit notes. It can be zero when sale invoices and credit notes fully offset each other (pure set-off, no cash collected).</li>
<li><b>Supplier Balance Adjustment</b> and <b>Customer To Customer Adjustment</b> — no cash is collected. <b>Amount</b> equals the <b>Set-off Amount</b>, and <b>Payment Mode</b> is not shown.</li>
</ul>

<hr class="doc-section-divider">

<h2 id="payment-modes">Payment Modes &amp; Cheque / PDC</h2>

| **Payment Mode** | **Description** |
|------------------|-----------------|
| Cash | Physical cash received into a cash account. |
| Bank | Direct bank transfer or deposit into a bank account. |
| Cheque | Customer cheque received. Creates a record under <b>Accounts → Received Cheques</b>. Enter cheque number, date, and bank details. |
| PDC | Post-dated cheque — a cheque with a future date. The receipt may show status <b>PDC Received</b> until the cheque is cleared. See the <a href="#/accounts/received-cheques">Received Cheques</a> page for tracking and clearance. |
| Digital Wallet | Payment received through a digital wallet account. |

<b>Payment instruments</b><br>
When payment instruments are configured, <b>Bank</b> and <b>Digital Wallet</b> modes show instrument-specific options such as <b>Bank (NEFT)</b>, <b>Bank (RTGS)</b>, or <b>Digital Wallet (UPI)</b>. Selecting an instrument filters the <b>To Account</b> dropdown to accounts tagged with that instrument. See <a href="#/accounts/payment-instruments">Payment Instruments</a> for setup.

<b>Cheque vs PDC</b><br>
Both require cheque details to be entered. For <b>PDC</b>, the cheque date must be after the receipt voucher date.

When a receipt using <b>Cheque</b> or <b>PDC</b> is cancelled, the linked received cheque is also cancelled.

<hr class="doc-section-divider">

<h2 id="line-tables">Line Tables — Transactions, Adjustments, Populate Lines</h2>

<h3>Transactions table</h3>
Lists the documents being settled on the receipt side. Common columns:

<ul>
<li><b>Sl.No</b> — line serial number</li>
<li><b>Document</b> — sale invoice, debit note, or other document (label changes by transaction type, e.g. <b>Sale Invoice</b>, <b>Customer A Documents</b>)</li>
<li><b>Date</b> — document date</li>
<li><b>Employee</b> — linked employee, if any</li>
<li><b>Balance</b> — outstanding balance on the document</li>
<li><b>Amount</b> — amount being applied on this receipt</li>
</ul>

<h3>Adjustments table</h3>
Lists offsetting documents that reduce the net amount collected:

<ul>
<li><b>Sale Invoice</b> / <b>Group Customer</b> — credit notes against customer invoices</li>
<li><b>Supplier Balance Adjustment</b> — purchase invoices or debit notes on the supplier side (<b>Supplier Documents</b>)</li>
<li><b>Customer To Customer Adjustment</b> — credit notes on Customer B side (<b>Customer B Documents</b>)</li>
</ul>

<h3>Sale Debit Adjustments table</h3>
Shown only for the <b>Sale Invoice</b> type. Add <b>sale debit notes</b> raised against the customer here to apply their balance to the receipt. Unlike credit notes, the sale debit adjustment total <b>adds</b> to the amount collected. Each line shows the sale debit note and its balance.

<h3>Populate Lines</h3>

<b>Populate Lines</b> automatically allocates an entered amount against outstanding documents, starting from the oldest invoice first and continuing until the amount is fully used.

<b>Available for:</b> <b>Sale Invoice</b> after <b>From Account</b> is selected, and <b>Group Customer</b> after <b>Parent Customer</b> is selected. For Group Customer, allocation uses outstanding sale invoices of the parent and all sub-customers.

<b>Not available for:</b> <b>Supplier Balance Adjustment</b> or <b>Customer To Customer Adjustment</b>. For these types, add lines manually in the Transactions and Adjustments tables. Credit notes in the <b>Adjustments</b> table are never auto-filled — add them manually even when using Populate Lines.

<hr class="doc-section-divider">

<h2 id="transaction-types">Transaction Types</h2>

The <b>On Transaction</b> field determines which party accounts appear, which documents can be added to the line tables, and whether cash is collected.

• <b>Adjustments:</b> Credit Notes (optional)<br>
• Supports <b>Multiple</b> and <b>Populate Lines</b> for automatic oldest-first allocation.<br>
• To set off a credit note against the <b>same customer's</b> invoices with no cash, use <a href="#/sales/credit-note?id=adjust-invoices">Adjust Invoices</a> on the credit note instead of a zero-amount receipt.

Also used when you collect an advance with <b>Payment In</b> from a <a href="#/sales/pro-forma-invoice">Pro Forma Invoice</a> or <a href="#/sales/sale-quotation">Sale Quotation</a> — see <a href="#/accounts/receipt-voucher?id=payment-in-from-sales">Payment In from Pro Forma / Quotation</a>. A receipt started as Sale Invoice (or another convertible type) can become Custom if you accept <b>Proceed as custom</b> on an <a href="#/accounts/receipt-voucher?id=excess-amount">excess amount</a>.<br>

<hr class="doc-section-divider">

<h3 id="group-customer">Group Customer</h3>

Collect a single payment for a <b>customer group</b> — a parent customer and its sub-customers (branches) — in one receipt voucher. Sale invoices from any group member can be settled together, and credit notes from any group member (including the parent) can be offset against them.

<b>Key fields</b><br>
• <b>Parent Customer:</b> Select the group parent (must not itself be a sub-customer).<br>
• <b>Multiple:</b> Always enabled automatically.<br>
• <b>Transactions:</b> Sale Invoices belonging to the parent or any sub-customer under that parent. After selecting <b>Parent Customer</b>, use <b>Populate Lines</b> to allocate an amount against those invoices, oldest first.<br>
• <b>Adjustments:</b> Credit Notes belonging to the parent or any sub-customer under that parent. Add these lines manually — Populate Lines does not fill Adjustments.<br>
• <b>Amount:</b> Net cash received = Gross Amount − Adjustment Amount (credit notes).<br>
• <b>Payment Mode / To Account:</b> Required when net amount is greater than zero; not required when net amount is zero (pure set-off).

<b>Example — cash received</b><br>
Parent customer <b>C</b> has sub-customers <b>A</b> and <b>B</b>:<br>
• A has a sale invoice balance of <b>100</b><br>
• B has a sale invoice balance of <b>200</b><br>
• C (parent) has a credit note of <b>150</b><br>
• Customer pays net amount: <b>150</b> (100 + 200 − 150)

Create one Group Customer receipt with A's and B's sale invoices in <b>Transactions</b>, C's credit note in <b>Adjustments</b>, and net cash <b>150</b>. On approval:<br>
• A's and B's sale invoices are cleared<br>
• C's credit note is consumed<br>
• <b>150</b> is recorded as cash or bank receipt

<b>Example — pure set-off, no cash</b><br>
• A sale invoice <b>100</b>, B sale invoice <b>50</b>, C credit note <b>150</b><br>
• Net = 100 + 50 − 150 = <b>0</b> — no cash is collected<br>
• Save and approve; invoices and credit note are cleared with no cash movement

<b>Notes</b><br>
• A credit note belonging to one group member can offset invoices of other members — the credit note does not need to belong to the same customer as the invoice being cleared.<br>
• After selecting <b>Parent Customer</b>, use <b>Populate Lines</b> on the Transactions table to allocate the received amount against outstanding sale invoices of the parent and all sub-customers. Add credit notes in <b>Adjustments</b> manually.

<hr class="doc-section-divider">

<h3 id="supplier-balance-adjustment">Supplier Balance Adjustment</h3>

Set off a party's customer-side receivables against supplier-side payables — used when a business partner is both a customer and a supplier. No cash is collected.

<b>Key fields</b><br>
• <b>Customer:</b> The party whose receivables (customer side) are being adjusted.<br>
• <b>Supplier:</b> The supplier whose payables are being set off.<br>
• <b>Set-off Amount:</b> Total amount being adjusted (must match both sides).<br>
• <b>Customer Documents (Transactions):</b> Sale Invoice or Debit Note lines on the customer side.<br>
• <b>Supplier Documents (Adjustments):</b> Purchase Invoice or Debit Note lines on the supplier side.<br>
• <b>Payment Mode:</b> Not shown — this is a balance adjustment, not a cash receipt.

<b>Example</b><br>
Party X is both a customer and a supplier:<br>
• As customer: outstanding sale invoice of <b>500</b><br>
• As supplier: outstanding purchase invoice of <b>500</b>

Create a Supplier Balance Adjustment with sale invoice 500 in <b>Customer Documents</b> and purchase invoice 500 in <b>Supplier Documents</b>, Set-off Amount <b>500</b>. On approval, both documents reduce balance by the set-off; when the set-off covers the full balance, both documents close. No cash movement.

<b>Notes</b><br>
• Customer Documents and Supplier Documents totals must equal the Set-off Amount.<br>
• <b>Populate Lines</b> is not available; add lines manually.<br>
• On approval, linked documents update balance and close when fully settled: sale invoices on <b>Customer Documents</b>; purchase invoices and debit notes on <b>Supplier Documents</b>. Partially set-off documents stay open with the remaining balance.<br>
• Cancel the receipt voucher before cancelling a linked sale invoice, purchase invoice, or debit note.<br>
• On statements, the set-off appears as <b>On Set-off</b>: credit on <a href="#/sales/reports/customer-statement">Customer Statement</a> and debit on <a href="#/purchase/reports/supplier-statement">Supplier Statement</a>.

<hr class="doc-section-divider">

<h3 id="customer-to-customer">Customer To Customer Adjustment</h3>

Transfer or offset balance between <b>two different customers</b> — one customer's receivable is cleared using another customer's credit note balance. No cash is collected.

<b>Key fields</b><br>
• <b>Customer A:</b> The customer whose receivables are being cleared.<br>
• <b>Customer B:</b> The customer whose credit note balance is being applied.<br>
• <b>Set-off Amount:</b> Total amount being adjusted (must match both sides).<br>
• <b>Customer A Documents (Transactions):</b> Sale Invoice lines.<br>
• <b>Customer B Documents (Adjustments):</b> Credit Note lines only.<br>
• <b>Payment Mode:</b> Not shown — this is a balance adjustment, not a cash receipt.

<b>Example</b><br>
• Customer A has an outstanding sale invoice of <b>300</b><br>
• Customer B has a credit note of <b>300</b>

Create a Customer To Customer Adjustment with A's sale invoice in <b>Customer A Documents</b> and B's credit note in <b>Customer B Documents</b>, Set-off Amount <b>300</b>. On approval, both documents reduce balance by the set-off; when fully covered, they close. No cash movement.

<b>Notes</b><br>
• Customer A and Customer B must be different parties.<br>
• Only credit notes are allowed in Customer B Documents.<br>
• Customer A Documents and Customer B Documents totals must equal the Set-off Amount.<br>
• <b>Populate Lines</b> is not available; add lines manually.<br>
• On approval, linked documents update balance and close when fully settled: sale invoices on <b>Customer A Documents</b>; credit notes (and advance sale invoices, when used) on <b>Customer B Documents</b>. Partially set-off documents stay open with the remaining balance.<br>
• Cancel the receipt voucher before cancelling a linked sale invoice or credit note.<br>
• On <a href="#/sales/reports/customer-statement">Customer Statement</a>, Customer A shows an <b>On Set-off</b> credit line and Customer B shows an <b>On Set-off</b> debit line.

<hr class="doc-section-divider">

<h2 id="excess-amount">Excess Amount</h2>

When you enter a receipt against a <b>single</b> bill and the amount is at least <b>1</b> more than that bill’s open balance, save is not blocked with a toast. An <b>Excess amount</b> warning is shown instead.

<b>When you can proceed as custom</b><br>
Applies to <b>Sale Invoice</b>, <b>Debit Note</b>, <b>Sale Order</b>, <b>Advance Sale Invoice</b>, and <b>Employee Cash Advance Voucher</b>.

<ul>
<li><b>Cancel</b> — nothing is saved.</li>
<li><b>Proceed as custom</b> — the voucher is saved as <b>Other Incomes / Custom</b>. The original bill is linked for its open balance. The leftover stays unlinked and can be allocated later with <a href="#/accounts/receipt-voucher?id=link-with-bill">Link with Bill</a>.</li>
</ul>

The warning looks like this:

<p>Receipt amount <b>X</b> exceeds invoice <b>BILL</b> balance <b>Y</b> by <b>Z</b>. Proceed to save as a custom receipt and link the invoice for <b>min(X, Y)</b>? The remaining <b>Z</b> will stay unlinked.</p>

<b>Example</b><br>
Invoice balance <b>100</b>, receipt <b>150</b> → after Proceed, custom receipt of <b>150</b>, invoice linked for <b>100</b>, <b>50</b> unlinked.

<b>When excess is not allowed</b><br>
For <b>Group Customer</b>, <b>Supplier Balance Adjustment</b>, <b>Customer To Customer Adjustment</b>, and <b>Sale Debit Note</b>, the same warning appears without <b>Proceed as custom</b>. <b>OK</b> closes it and save is blocked.

<b>Notes</b>
<ul>
<li>If the amount matches the balance (or is over by less than 1), the receipt stays the original type. Nothing is converted.</li>
<li><b>Multiple</b> invoice lines still cannot exceed a line’s open balance.</li>
<li>Convert happens only when there is excess <b>and</b> you click Proceed. Cancel leaves the form unchanged.</li>
<li>After convert, reopening the voucher shows the <b>Custom</b> form. That is expected.</li>
<li>The invoice balance drops only when the voucher is <b>approved</b>. A draft shows the bill under <b>Linked Bills</b> with link status <b>Pending</b>.</li>
<li>On a converted custom receipt, the header does not show a Transaction Invoice. The bill appears only in <b>Linked Bills</b>.</li>
</ul>

<hr class="doc-section-divider">

<h2 id="link-with-bill">Link with Bill</h2>

The <b>Link with Bill</b> option lets you associate an approved receipt with specific invoices or other documents after the receipt has been saved. This is useful for <b>Other Incomes / Custom</b> receipts that were recorded before the related bill was known, leftover amounts after an <a href="#/accounts/receipt-voucher?id=excess-amount">excess convert</a>, and leftover advances after auto-link on sale invoice approve.

<b>Purpose</b>
<ul>
<li>Map receipt vouchers to the correct customer invoices or documents.</li>
<li>Ensure collections are reflected against the related bills.</li>
<li>Maintain a clear audit trail between invoices and receipts.</li>
<li>Avoid duplicate or unmatched payment entries.</li>
</ul>

<b>When it applies</b><br>
Link with Bill is available only for receipts with <b>Other Incomes / Custom</b> as the <b>On Transaction</b> type, and only after the receipt is approved.

<b>Workflow</b>
<ol>
<li>Open <b>Accounts → Receipt Voucher</b> and create a new receipt with <b>Other Incomes / Custom</b> — or open a custom receipt created by excess convert or <b>Payment In</b>.</li>
<li>Fill in customer, date, payment mode, and amount (already filled if the receipt exists).</li>
<li><b>Save &amp; Approve</b> the voucher if it is still a draft.</li>
<li>Open the three-dot menu on the approved receipt and select <b>Link with Bill</b>.</li>
<li>In <b>Custom Receipts Linking</b>:
<ul>
<li>Choose <b>On Transaction</b> at the top (Sale Invoice, Debit Note, Cash Advance Voucher, Credit Note; Sale Order when Payment on Order is enabled).</li>
<li>Use the search icon next to <b>On Transaction</b> to open the pending-bills list. The title shows the remaining <b>Unlinked</b> amount on this receipt.</li>
<li>Only open documents for that type and party are listed. Oldest bills that cover the unlinked amount are pre-selected (the last bill can be partial). Tick or untick before confirming.</li>
<li>Confirmed rows fill the table with those allocated amounts. You can still edit amounts, or add a row manually and pick <b>Transaction Id</b> when you need a specific bill.</li>
<li><b>Customer</b> / <b>Supplier</b> appear only when the receipt used <b>Multiple</b> (split across parties). For a single From Account they are not asked again.</li>
<li>Bills already approved on this receipt stay locked. Newly added rows are applied when you Approve.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Approve the linking. The bill status updates to <b>Partially Paid</b> or <b>Fully Paid</b> as applicable. Total linked amount cannot exceed the receipt amount.</li>
</ol>

<img src="accounts/images/customlink.webp" alt="Link with bill" loading="lazy">

<b>Viewing linked bills</b><br>
Open the receipt voucher and expand it to see the <b>Linked Bill</b> section.

<img src="accounts/images/linked.webp" alt="Linked bills" loading="lazy">

<b>Unlinking bills</b><br>
If a receipt was linked to the wrong bill:
<ol>
<li>Open the receipt voucher.</li>
<li>Expand the <b>Linked Bills</b> section.</li>
<li>Click <b>Unlink</b> on the incorrect entry.</li>
</ol>
Once unlinked, the bill reverts to its previous payment status, and the receipt can be linked to the correct bill.

<hr class="doc-section-divider">

<h2 id="payment-in-from-sales">Payment In from Pro Forma Invoice / Sale Quotation</h2>

You can collect a customer advance before the final sale invoice by using <b>Payment In</b> on an approved <a href="#/sales/pro-forma-invoice">Pro Forma Invoice</a> or <a href="#/sales/sale-quotation">Sale Quotation</a>.

<b>What happens</b>
<ul>
<li>A new receipt opens as <b>Other Incomes / Custom</b>.</li>
<li>Customer, amount, branch, and currency are pre-filled from the source document.</li>
<li>The receipt keeps a reference to that pro forma or quotation (shown on the receipt view).</li>
<li>The receipt works like a normal custom receipt — cash or bank is posted on approve, but sale invoice balances are not updated until the receipt is linked.</li>
</ul>

<b>Workflow</b>
<ol>
<li>Open an approved pro forma invoice or sale quotation (quotation must have a customer).</li>
<li>From the more menu (⋮), select <b>Payment In</b>.</li>
<li>Review amount and payment mode, then <b>Save &amp; Approve</b>.</li>
<li>Later, create and approve a <a href="#/sales/sale-invoice">Sale Invoice</a> from the same pro forma or quotation.</li>
<li>On invoice approve, matching advance receipts are linked to that invoice automatically (oldest first, up to the invoice balance).</li>
<li>Any leftover amount can still be allocated with <b>Link with Bill</b>.</li>
</ol>

<b>Notes</b>
<ul>
<li>The advance also appears on the source document’s <b>Summary</b> tab (<a href="#/sales/reports/sale-transaction-summary">Sale Transaction Summary</a>).</li>
<li>This is separate from <b>Sale Order</b> payment (which uses <b>On Transaction = Sale Order</b> when Payment on Order is enabled).</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="best-practices">Best Practices</h2>

<ul>
<li><b>Link to invoices:</b> For standard receipts, always select the outstanding sale invoices being paid for clear receivables tracking.</li>
<li><b>Multiple mode:</b> Use when a customer pays against several invoices in one receipt, or when payment is split across parties in a Custom receipt.</li>
<li><b>Group Customer:</b> Use when collecting payment for a parent customer and its branches or sub-customers in a single receipt.</li>
<li><b>Balance adjustments:</b> Use <b>Supplier Balance Adjustment</b> or <b>Customer To Customer Adjustment</b> instead of manual journal entries when offsetting balances between parties.</li>
<li><b>Credit notes:</b> Add credit notes in the <b>Adjustments</b> table to reduce the net amount collected rather than entering a lower gross amount manually.</li>
<li><b>Cheque receipts:</b> Always enter complete cheque details. Track clearance under <b>Accounts → Received Cheques</b>.</li>
<li><b>Custom receipts:</b> Use <b>Other Incomes / Custom</b> for receipts not tied to a specific invoice at entry time, then use <b>Link with Bill</b> after approval. Use the pending-bills search to allocate leftover amount (including leftover after an excess convert). For advances before invoicing, prefer <b>Payment In</b> from the pro forma or quotation so the receipt stays tied to that document.</li>
<li><b>Excess collection:</b> If a customer pays more than one invoice, use <b>Proceed as custom</b> so the invoice is linked for its balance and the leftover can be linked later. Do not split the extra into a second typed receipt unless you need it that way.</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="faq">FAQ</h2>

<b>When should I use Group Customer vs Sale Invoice?</b><br>
Use <b>Group Customer</b> when collecting payment for a parent customer and its sub-customers or branches in one receipt. Use <b>Sale Invoice</b> when the payment is from a single customer only.

<b>Can a parent customer's credit note offset sub-customer invoices in Group Customer?</b><br>
Yes. A credit note belonging to any group member — including the parent — can offset sale invoices of other group members in the same receipt.

<b>Why is Populate Lines not available?</b><br>
<b>Populate Lines</b> is not shown for <b>Supplier Balance Adjustment</b> or <b>Customer To Customer Adjustment</b>. Add document lines manually in the Transactions and Adjustments tables. For <b>Group Customer</b>, select <b>Parent Customer</b> first — then use <b>Populate Lines</b> on the Transactions table. Credit notes still need to be added in Adjustments manually.

<b>Why is Payment Mode hidden?</b><br>
<b>Payment Mode</b> is hidden for <b>Supplier Balance Adjustment</b> and <b>Customer To Customer Adjustment</b> because no cash is collected. It may also be hidden for <b>Group Customer</b> when the net amount after credit notes is zero (pure set-off).

<b>What is Supplier Balance Adjustment used for?</b><br>
It is used when the same business partner is both a customer and a supplier. You can set off what they owe you (sale invoices) against what you owe them (purchase invoices) without any cash movement.

<b>Do documents close on Supplier Balance Adjustment or Customer To Customer Adjustment?</b><br>
Yes. On approval, linked documents reduce balance and close when balance reaches zero — sale invoices on the customer side; purchase invoices and debit notes on the supplier side for <b>Supplier Balance Adjustment</b>; sale invoices and credit notes for <b>Customer To Customer Adjustment</b>. Partially set-off documents stay open with the remaining balance.

<b>Can the same customer be selected for both sides in Customer To Customer Adjustment?</b><br>
No. Customer A and Customer B must be different parties. The system will not allow the same customer on both sides.

<b>How do credit notes work on a normal Sale Invoice receipt?</b><br>
Add credit notes in the <b>Adjustments</b> table. The <b>Adjustment Amount</b> reduces the net <b>Amount</b> collected. The credit note balance is updated when the receipt is approved. If you only need to set off a same-customer credit note against invoices (no cash), use <a href="#/sales/credit-note?id=adjust-invoices">Adjust Invoices</a> on the credit note.

<b>What happens if I cancel a receipt that used Cheque payment mode?</b><br>
The linked received cheque under <b>Accounts → Received Cheques</b> is also cancelled.

<b>Can I link a receipt to invoices after saving?</b><br>
Yes, using <b>Link with Bill</b> on an approved <b>Other Incomes / Custom</b> receipt. Open the three-dot menu, select <b>Link with Bill</b>, choose <b>On Transaction</b>, then use the search icon to pick pending bills (or add a row and pick <b>Transaction Id</b>).

<b>How do I collect payment against a pro forma invoice or sale quotation?</b><br>
On the approved pro forma or quotation, use <b>Payment In</b> from the more menu. The receipt is created as <b>Other Incomes / Custom</b> and keeps a reference to that document. When you approve a sale invoice created from the same pro forma or quotation, matching receipts are linked to the invoice automatically. Use <b>Link with Bill</b> for any remainder.

<b>Are Payment In advances from a pro forma the same as Sale Order payment?</b><br>
No. Sale Order payment uses <b>On Transaction = Sale Order</b> (when Payment on Order is enabled) and updates the order balance. Pro forma / quotation <b>Payment In</b> uses <b>Other Incomes / Custom</b> and only affects the sale invoice after linking (auto or manual).

<b>What if document totals on both sides of a balance adjustment do not match?</b><br>
The <b>Set-off Amount</b> must equal the totals on both the Transactions and Adjustments sides. The system will not allow saving until both sides match.

<b>What happens if the receipt amount is more than the invoice balance?</b><br>
On a <b>single</b> bill, an <b>Excess amount</b> warning is shown. <b>Cancel</b> does not save. <b>Proceed as custom</b> saves the receipt as <b>Other Incomes / Custom</b> and links the invoice for its open balance; the leftover stays unlinked. See <a href="#/accounts/receipt-voucher?id=excess-amount">Excess Amount</a>. Multiple invoice lines still cannot exceed a line’s balance.

<b>Why did my Sale Invoice receipt become Custom after save?</b><br>
You accepted <b>Proceed as custom</b> because the amount exceeded the invoice balance. The invoice is linked for its balance (pending until approve). Reopening the voucher as Custom is expected.

<b>When does the invoice balance reduce after an excess convert?</b><br>
Only when the voucher is <b>approved</b>. A draft pending link does not change the invoice balance.

<b>What are PDC cheque date rules?</b><br>
For pay mode PDC, the cheque date must be after the receipt voucher date. The receipt stays in PDC received status until the cheque is cleared.
