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.

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.

Tip: Use AI Agent notes as an audit trail of automated matching and allocation actions, and rely on User notes to capture exceptions, customer communication summaries, and decisions taken during payment application or dispute resolution.
