In Accounting Individual, invoices and payments are separate. Marking an invoice as paid doesn’t automatically create a payment.

If you use a bank feed, check whether the payment has pulled through as a bank transaction. If it has, just mark the invoice as paid. Don’t create a new transaction.

If the payment isn’t on your bank feed, record it manually. You can create the payment directly when marking the invoice as paid, or from the bank area.

The outcome is the same: one invoice marked as paid, and one payment recorded in your bank.

 NOTE: Invoicing is only available in the paid tier of Individual. Upgrade to access this feature. 

Mark an invoice as paid

1. Go to Invoicing.
2. Find the invoice and select Actions, then Add a payment.
3. Enter the payment amount. If you also need to record the payment, tick Create money-in transaction.
4. Enter the payment date, source (bank account), and a description.
5. Select Save.

The invoice now shows as Paid or Part-paid, depending on the amount entered.
