Entering payments and applying credits to invoices simultaneously

The client sends a payment of $3,500, the total amount due. You can apply the credit to either invoice, then apply the payment to the remaining balance.

1. In the Account text box, enter the ledger account number for the cash account.
2. In the Deposit# text box, enter the deposit transaction number.
3. In the Date text box, enter the deposit date.
4. In the Description text box, enter a brief statement about the transaction.
