Payments in Quote and Invoice Management

This tells the system that the customer has accepted the quote and therefore payments can be applied to it. You can take payments in multiple parts or pay in full up until the Invoice value.

Payments taken against Proforma invoices are applied to that specific proforma and cant be used against other invoices.
