Hello everyone, and welcome to Built Financial technologies. Thank you for joining me again for another session as we'll be going through how to add payments to invoices. And so we start off by selecting income and then invoices.

There are two scenarios in which you can add payments to invoices. The first is to create an invoice from the scratch and then add payments. And then the second option would be to edit an already created invoice and then add payments.

So we will start with the first scenario, click on +invoice and then select the dates on which the invoice will be created on. I will be going with 1st October and since it will be on receipt, I'll select on receipt and then I'll add the customer to which I'm sending this invoice to.

Then you add your item by choosing from your item list and then, edit the price and quantity.

If there is any description that you want to add, you can add them. Also, if there are any taxes that is, VAT flat or VAT standard with COVID 19 Levy.

You can apply them by selecting tax and then select from the options below. If there are any another items that you want to add, you can select add another item and then you add them. If a particular product does not exist in your item list or it's a new product that you are introducing, you can select on, create a new item and then create a new product. Kindly scroll down to save and preview.

And so the invoice has been created and you can select add payments. The amount automatically pops up, but if you also want to edit it, you can edit it. Kindly select the payment method, which can be cash, bank cheque, mobile money, or any other form of payments that you've already set up in the system. Then select the payment account into which payment was made into which could be your bank account, your mobile money account, or cash on hand account. Select the date of payment and edit it. If you have any reference you want to add, you can just add it and then you save payments.

The second scenario would either be to edit an already created invoice and then add payment. So as you can see, I'll be using the invoice that was created for Hakeem on 1st September and the payment status shows that it is not paid. Kindly select ●●● for a drop down and then you select add payments.

Go through the same process and edit the amount paid. Then you select the payments method, the payment account, the date on which payments was made and then save payments.

This brings us to the end of this lesson. Thank you for joining me and goodbye.
