Practice Manager only

When a client pays an invoice, the details need to be entered into Practice Manager. When receipts are entered, they reduce the total debtor amount for a client. 

If payment is receipted against a client but not allocated against a bill, the amount remains Unallocated.

If an over-payment is made by the client, any amounts not allocated against bills remain Unallocated on the debtors receipt.

Unallocated amounts can be allocated against future bills.
