You can categorize the duplicate payment to your Debtors (Accounts receivable) account right from the Bank transactions page. This records the transaction in your bank register and creates a credit on the customer's profile that you can apply to future invoices.


Here's how to do it:

 

  1. Select the customer's duplicate payment from the Bank transactions page.
  2. Assign the customer to the From/To field.
  3. Enter Debtors (Accounts receivable) in the Account field.
  4. Select Post.


Once posted, the transaction moves to the Posted tab, and the credit will be ready to use.
