Pending payment improvements
We have made some changes to the behavior of pending payments/receipts to prevent overpayments from landing into the trust account.
In the Invoice screen:
When there is a pending payment for the full amount of the invoice (i.e. it is within its clearance days period), the Add Payment, Pay By Credit Card and Waive buttons will be disabled.
When there is a pending payment for a partial amount of the invoice, the Waive button will be disabled, and the debtor can only pay the remaining balance of the invoice.
When doing a Bulk Trust to Office transfer:
Invoices with full pending payments will still appear but they cannot be selected for payment.
Invoices with part pending receipts will show and allow for the remaining balance to be paid.
