# Client payments

When a client asks what they've paid, or you need to see which invoices a payment covered, you shouldn't have to log in to your accounting system. **Payments** on a client in OrderEazi lists the client's payments and how much of each is allocated to invoices. With Sage One, you can also record a payment here.

### Before you start

You'll need the **View Client Payment** permission, in the **Clients** permission group, to see payments. Recording a payment needs **Create Client Payment**, and only works when your organisation uses Sage One.

### How to see a client's payments

1. In the main menu, select **Clients**.
2. Open the menu on the client and select **Payments**.

The list shows each payment's **Document Number**, **Date**, **Reference**, **Total**, and **Total Unallocated**, in the client's currency. Select **+** on a payment to see which invoices it's allocated to, with each invoice's value, the amount allocated, and what's still owed.

**Example:** A client pays R20 000 against two invoices of R12 000 and R10 000. The payment shows a **Total** of R20 000. Expanding it shows R12 000 allocated to the first invoice and R8 000 to the second, which still has R2 000 owing.

### How to record a payment

With Sage One, select **Add Payment**, then:

1. Enter the **Date**.
2. Choose the **Payment Method**: Cash, Cheque, CreditCard, or EFT.
3. Choose the **Bank** it was paid into.
4. Enter the **Reference** and the **Amount**. For a client in another currency, check the **Exchange Rate:**.
5. Select **Create**.

You see "Payment Saved."
