Unbound payments

Unbound payments are payments made to suppliers that are not linked to a purchase invoice. In the purchase ledger, these are recorded as prepayments.

Unbound payments can be found by going to Operations -> Payments.

Data can be searched and sorted based on all visible parameters. More information on how to use search filters can be found in the guide Using filters in lists“.

Payment statuses

The “Bound” status (with a green background) indicates that the payment is fully bounded with one or more invoices.

If the payment status is “Pending” (with an orange background), it means that the payment is either partially or fully unbounded with an invoice. The unbounded part of the payment is recorded as a supplier prepayment in the balance sheet.

Binding a payment with an invoice

To bind a payment to an outstanding invoice, open the payment from the list and select Actions -> Bind payment with purchase invoice.

The system displays all fully or partially unpaid invoices for the supplier in the list. By default, the oldest invoice is selected for linking to the payment. Review the invoice(s), mark the appropriate one(s) and confirm the selection by clicking “Bind payment to purchases“.

If the payment has an unbound part, this amount is displayed below the payment amount.

Invoices bound to the payment are displayed in the “Bound purchase invoices” section.

Removing the binding between the payment and the purchase invoice

There are two options to remove the binding between the purchase invoice and the payment.

From the payment, in the “Bound purchase invoices” section, click the link “Remove binding”.

From the purchase invoice, in the “Payments” section, click the link “Remove binding”.
