For  Open Item customers , type the amount paid into the ' Amount Paid ' field, and any discount given into the ' Discount Given ' field, select the invoice(s) being paid, then select ' Paid (F7) ' to enter the value paid. 4. Once all invoices have been selected and had a value of 'Paid' entered against them, select <F8> to Finish.   5. The following screen appears when processing a payment for  'balance forward'  customers.  Note :  Invoices are not available for selection as the customer is 'balance forward' - an 'Age Allocation' period has to be selected instead.    6. Payments processed at POS for balance forward accounts reduces the balance owing on the account, however the payment remains ' unallocated ' if the company flag is set to prevent allocation.  If unallocated, the payment then needs to be applied to an Age Period for that customer as a separate Back Offic e function.  Refer to  Allocating Payments to a Period   in the   Accounts Receivable User Guide   for further information.  7.
