About unallocated payments/payments on account

This parameter refers to managing unallocated payments, also known as payments on account. A payment on account is any partial payment of an amount owed that has no reference to a specific invoice or order. This includes any amount you owe or that is owed to you.

Payments on accounts should not be confused with down payments or prepayments that are linked to an order, which are prepayments. Payments on accounts have no such link and do not involve VAT. If you make a payment to a supplier that cannot be allocated at the time to invoices received, the supplier can designate this as a payment on account. Later, the supplier can fully match it to the invoice or invoices it relates to, or partially match to an invoice. Payments you receive that cannot be allocated to an invoice can be managed the same way.
