How to overpay a creditor

In the event that you physically overpay a creditor, you will need to reflect that in Eclipse so that your bank reconciliation matches your bank statement.

1. Under the Accounts Payable tab, click Make Payments, then Pay Your Creditors.
   
   
   
2. Use the Search field to find the supplier, or scroll through the list.
3. Select the Supplier and click Payment.
   
   
   
4. Select the Bank that the invoice was paid from.
   
5. Select the Invoice to be paid, then click Part Payment.
6. Type in the Amount that was paid.
7. Enter a Reference and Narration.
8. Click Post.
   
   

If we go back into the make payment screen, we can now see that invoice line shows a credit of $5000, displayed in brackets.
