How are promised payments marked as paid?
Automatically Marking Promises as Paid
A promised payment is automatically marked as paid when a payment is made against the invoices involved in the promise, and the targeted allocated amount of the invoices involved in the promise are met.
Consider the following scenarios:
Scenario 1:
Transaction Reference | Outstanding Amount (USD) |
INV001 | $1000.00 |
Promise 1 is created of $250 against INV001.
When a $250 payment is allocated against the invoice in the accounting system, once the data is synchronised into Credit Hound Cloud, Promise 1 will be automatically marked as paid.
Scenario 2:
Transaction Reference | Outstanding Amount (USD) |
INV002 | $1000.00 |
INV003 | $500.00 |
Promise 1 is created of $250 including both transactions, INV002 and INV003.
When a $250 payment is allocated against either invoice in the accounting system (e.g. $200 allocated to INV002 and $50 allocated to INV003), once the data is synchronised into Credit Hound Cloud, Promise 1 will be automatically marked as paid.
Scenario 3:
Transaction Reference | Outstanding Amount (USD) |
INV004 | $1000.00 |
Promise 1, Promise 2, Promise 3 created of $100 each against INV004.
When a $100 payment is allocated against the invoice in the accounting system, once the data is synchronised into Credit Hound Cloud, all 3 promises will be marked as paid.
A promised payment does not take into account any previous promises that were made against a transaction. Promises are considered to be independent of one another.
Manually Marking Promises as Paid
A promised payment can also be manually marked as paid using the ellipsis icon (more options) in the Promises List or Promises Breakdown screens.
