Creating payments for multiple Invoices
There are two ways to receive a payment into Bp Allied: manually or automatically. In many practices, payment is made at the time of invoicing. If this is true for your practice, you may select to receive a
payment at the time of creating the Invoice. Otherwise, a payment can be added to an Invoice either from the
New Payment button at the top of the Invoice module screen, or from the
Add Payment button at the bottom of the invoice itself.
Bp Allied allows you to receive multiple invoices together under the one payment. This is most easily done via the
New Payment button at the top of the Invoices screen.
