An unallocated receipt is money received from a client for work which has not yet been billed. For example, when cash is received in advance of the work being billed. You can receipt the payment from the client without allocating it against a bill. The amount remains in the Unallocated area. This enables you to process the client receipt and maintain the unallocated amount as a credit on the client’s ledger to be allocated against future invoices.

Once the pre-payment has been entered, it is posted to update the Debtors Ledger. There is no matching at this stage as the bill has not been generated. When the bill is raised and posted, the unallocated receipt can then be matched.

To enter unallocated receipts to a client

Access the Debtors Ledger in Receipt mode for the client. See Accessing the debtors ledger.
