Record an invoice payment

Apply an offline or manually confirmed payment with amount, date, mode and transaction reference. The guide then takes you through the correct route, the checks to complete before making changes, the workflow in order, and the evidence to review afterwards.

Before you startThe screen or action may be hidden when your role lacks permission, the related module is inactive, or a required setting has not been configured. Ask an administrator to review access rather than using another person’s account.

What you’ll accomplish

Apply an offline or manually confirmed payment with amount, date, mode and transaction reference. Britixo CRM keeps the result connected to the relevant customer, staff member and operational history where the feature supports those relationships. That connection is important for search, reporting, client portal visibility and future automation.

Follow these steps

  1. Go to Invoice → Record Payment and select the new or add action.
  2. Select the correct related customer, contact, project or other parent record where the form requests one.
  3. Complete the required identity, ownership and date fields for the invoice.
  4. Add financial, status, visibility or permission information that applies to the workflow.
  5. Add clear notes, content, line items or attachments so another authorised user can understand the record.
  6. Check validation messages and client-visible information, then save.
  7. Go to the saved record, confirm the status and activity entry, and perform the next workflow action only after review.

  • Review totals and tax treatment before sending.
  • Do not edit a paid invoice without following the organisation’s accounting procedure.
  • Check whether the result should be visible to a customer contact or only to staff.
  • Confirm the final status, activity entry, generated document or notification before leaving the record.
