Create/Edit Payment

This is the screen used to create and edit customer payments.

The header fields are as follows:
Current Invoice - the amount of the current invoice (in the above screen shot, there isn't one)
Overdue - the customer's current overdue balance
Date - the date on which the payment was created
Amount - the amount of the payment - this is the sum of the line item amounts
Printed - this checkbox will be checked when the payment is printed
Status - is initially set to Finalised, and can also be set to In Progress or On Hold
Previous Balance - the customers balance at the end of the last accounting cycle
Total Balance - the total balance owed by the customer
Notes - any relevant notes
Reference - any appropriate reference number/code
Till - the till into which the money is to be paid

The Items tab allows you to add, delete, view and edit the item items. The pull-down allows you to select the payment type to be one of Cash, Cheque, Credit Card, EFT, Other, or Discount. Note that the last is a 'negative' payment - you can use this payment type to include a discount for the customer.
