Customer Payment Application Check

Check customer payments are applied to the matching open invoice. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

The customer payments in the batch and the invoice each was applied to.

How it works

1. Count the payments in the batch.
2. Count those applied to the matching open invoice.
3. Recompute the unapplied count and amount.
4. Return the check without applying any payment.

The output

batch | payments | applied | unapplied | unapplied_amount | verdict

Worked fictional example

Fictional batch had 35 payments totaling 18,200 and 32 were applied to the matching open invoice: 3 unapplied totaling 1,150.

Checks and limits

Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
