Paying a Sales Invoice
Updated 31 October 2026
When a customer pays an invoice, you record it with a Sales Payment. Paying from the invoice creates the Sales Payment and allocates it to that invoice in one step.
A Sales Payment created from an invoice can only be applied to that invoice. To pay several invoices at once, use Bulk Pay. If the payment came through the bank and hasn’t been recorded yet, you can also create it while reconciling, with Match to Invoice.
Pay a Sales Invoice
- Open Aedon.Sales, click the Sales Invoices tab and open the posted invoice.
- Click Pay.
- In the Create Payment window(1), check the Date the money was received, the Amount (it defaults to the balance outstanding) and the Bank Account it was paid into. Change the Currency Exchange Rate if needed, and add a Payment Reference.
- Click Pay(2).
The invoice’s Balance Outstanding reduces by the amount paid. You can see the payment on the invoice’s Payment & Audit History tab. For a part payment, enter the amount actually received. The rest stays outstanding.
Reconcile the payment
When the money appears on your bank statement, reconcile it on the bank account’s Reconcile tab. Refresh Match will find the Sales Payment for you. See Bank Reconciliation Process.
