CLIENT PAYMENT SCREEN:

Screen to manage client payments.

Invoice Number:
IMPORTANT: This is not a usual edit box as it does not reflect data against the payment record.
"Invoice Number" only indicates which invoice to disburse to first when inserting or updating a client payment. The invoice number is not stored against the client payment as a payment may be disbursed to one or many invoices, or none at all (credit). Therefore when retrieving a payment record the "Invoice Number" will always be blank.
In future this screen will have the ability to control exactly what amounts of a client payment are disbursed and where to.


Disburse Amount:
Reflects the amount available for paying invoices; that is the amount after deducting Surcharges and Fees.

Approve (Button):
This button is used for approving online payments. Online payments are not disbursed to outstanding invoices until they have been scrutinised by an employee and this button is pressed.
