Registered payments
A registered payment is always allocated to the oldest invoice first, according to the ‘invoice date’ and then chronologically. For example, if you have three unpaid invoices as shown below:
By registering a payment of £600 against the child’s account would mean that the January 2020 invoice status will display as ‘paid’ & February 2020 invoice would display as ‘partially paid’.

Invoice Statuses
All invoices will have an invoice status. This will indicate whether the invoice has been sent, partially paid, paid, overdue or cancelled.
Sent: The invoice has been sent which means the parent will receive the invoice or it has been marked as sent. At this stage, there has been no payment made.
Partially paid: The invoice has been partly paid or an overpayment has been made for a previous invoice. This means part of the invoice amount has been covered.
Paid: An amount has been registered which covers the full cost of the invoice.
Overdue: The invoice due date has passed and the account balance has not been paid.
