Tip: Review payment header fields first when applying or reconciling payments to confirm the correct customer, payment method, currency, and unapplied balance before adjusting allocations.

Note: Monetary values reflect the current Base or Foreign currency selection from the Payments page. 

Extended Fields

  • Any additional custom payment fields configured for your organization appear in the Extended Fields area.

  • If no custom attributes exist, No Extended Fields appears in this section.

Table 2. Extended Fields

FieldDescription
Payment CurrencyThe currency in which the payment was made.

Tip: Use Extended Fields for additional reporting dimensions—such as region, payment batch, bank file ID, or campaign code—without altering your ERP schema.

Note: Extended Fields are tenant‑specific—the attributes you see depend on how your administrator has configured payment attributes.
