Populating payment allocation details from selected documents
You can select unpaid documents (such as supplier invoices) and import their details to the cash voucher. To do this, perform the following steps:

The Select documents window is displayed. It shows the unpaid documents from the supplier specified in the cash voucher's general details. - Do either of the following:
- To select documents manually, in the Unpaid documents section, double-click them. They are moved to the To be paid section.
Note. If you want to pay only a part of a document amount, select the document and click Input amount. Then double-click the document, edit the amount, and click OK. - To select documents automatically, in the To be paid section, click Fill in.
This adds unpaid documents with the total amount matching the total payment amount (that is specified in the cash voucher’s general details). The document with the earliest creation date is added first. If the total payment amount is greater than the total amount of all unpaid documents, a line with the amount variance is added. If the total payment amount is less than the amount of any unpaid document, only the document with the earliest creation date is added. Its payment amount is set to the total payment amount.
- To select documents manually, in the Unpaid documents section, double-click them. They are moved to the To be paid section.
- Click OK.
The details from the To be paid section are populated to the Payment allocation tab. If the details include the line with the amount variance, the Advance payment checkbox is selected in this line.
You can edit the populated details.
