Allocations and unapplied credit
An allocation shows how a customer payment was applied to one or more billing documents. A payment may remain partly or fully unapplied until it is assigned to an eligible invoice or document. Use Customer Inquiry to review allocations later.
Important: Posted payments are financial history. Use the supported reversal workflow when a posted payment needs to be corrected.
