The part payment feature allows you to split an invoice when a customer pays an amount that does not match one or multiple invoices.
The system will split the selected record into 2 parts, allowing you to reconcile the payment against multiple invoices and leaving a balance on the split invoice.

Troubleshooting
Split Amount Warning
If the amount the system needs to split by is greater then the amount due on the invoice, there is a warning. We recommend choosing a different invoice if possible, however this is not always the case and the system can still let you split an invoice which is less than the split amount.
Example
Customers is owing 120 and wants to pay off 100
Since the 10.00 invoice is highlighted this is the invoice that will be split.
The warning is shown as you are trying to split a 10.00 invoice by 20.00.
Click No and highlight a different invoice that is greater the 20.00
The system can now split the 60.00 invoice by 20.00
Allowing you to take the 100.00 payment
