Payment
Payment records money received against tender invoices. On contract work a remittance rarely matches a single bill — one payment often covers several certified invoices with deductions already applied, so recording it against the right invoices is what keeps the project ledger honest.
Where to find it
Go to TenderPro > Payment. Record a new one from TenderPro > New > Customer Payment.
What the list shows
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Project | The contract the payment relates to. |
| Customer | Who paid. |
| Date | When it was received. |
| Amount | What arrived. |
| Bank Account | Where it landed. |
| Allocation | Which invoices it settled. |
Allocate every payment to specific invoices. An unallocated receipt reduces the customer balance but leaves each bill still showing as outstanding, so the project looks unpaid while the money is already in the bank.
Reconciling a short payment
A payment smaller than the invoice is normal on tender work — the difference is the client's deduction. Check it against BD Impact before chasing: if the deduction is recorded, the payment is correct and the balance is recoverable rather than overdue.
