Hi. when entering a payment from a customer that have received an invoice , I see all invoices in the drop down list even if they have status fully paid.

Can you apply a filter only showing the invoices that not are fully paid.

Welcome onboard @TomTom

There are two ideas already that will solve the exact issue you are facing, however, using alternative – possibly faster – workflows:

> [@Invoice search and Apply idea for Cash Applications](https://forum.manager.io/t/invoice-search-and-apply-idea-for-cash-applications/26488):

> Search function for cash applications. When applying cash receipts to customer invoices currently the only mechanism to apply to invoices is to choose the appropriate invoice number from the list values/drop down list. We have numerous customers that provide limited to no ‘remittance advice’ information or simply state ‘July Invoice’ etc. Others are paying the oldest one or two open invoices. It is not therefore always readily possible to quickly identify the correct invoices that the custome…

> Currently we have the following options to create receipts/payments: Copy a single invoice to Receipt/Payment Copy the entire statement to Receipt/Payment Manually type in Receipt/Payment detail Or: Entirely forgo manual allocation in favor of auto-allocation. The reason an additional method is proposed is that although the automatic allocation (option 4) works well in many situations, in some situations where specific allocation is required and there’s a large number of invoices involved,…

My workflow is:

Click on the [Sales Invoices] tab.  
Enter in the search field the amount received, or the invoicenumber, or the name of the payer.  
Choose the invoice which has been paid, and click on the amount (in blue) of the column [Balance due]  
Click on [New Receipt]  
Click on the appropriate date and fill in the empty fields like Account etc.  
Click on the button [Create].
