The following may occur if the payment is out of balance or there are duplicate payments:

  • If you build a worksheet that references the same item multiple times, a warning message appears indicating that you have duplicate payments for the item when you save the worksheet. The item appears multiple times on the worksheet. Apply the payment to the item multiple times, which creates a credit on the customer account, or clear the item and select another action.

If you know the exact invoices of the payment: set the Reference Criteria to Specific Value, restricted to Customer Only and Match Rule to Exact Match. Then use the look up magnifying glass to select your invoice and use the plus icon to add multiple invoices. Selecting them at this stage will populate the Worksheet Application page.
