Partially paid invoice

I have a client who is booking accommodation on behalf of their client and requests that we invoice for the gross amount which includes their commission. This i have done, however they deduct their commission when making payment in respect of the invoice. I created a journal entry in respect of the commission to credit the debtors account. This obviously balanced the debtors account but still left the amount outstanding on the invoice. How do i receive payment for the commission element of the invoice to clear the outstanding amount?

 

Thanks

Hello Airhostandclean, 

 

Welcome to the Community page, 

 

If you go to the invoice in question and click on receive payment does the journal entry you created show as a credit?

 

If it does you should be able to apply the credit to the account.

Hi Ashleigh,

 

Thanks for your reply, when i originally created the journal and then went to allocate the payment i couldn't see the journal entry. I didn't scroll down far enough!!

 

Regards
