All Payments Page
The All Payments page provides a central location to manage forthcoming payments recorded in IT Asset Management.
Payments are recorded as installments on payment schedules; and each payment schedule is defined with (and permanently attached to) a contract. By default, this page lists every installment (past and future, paid and pending) on every payment schedule (and contract). You can use grouping, searching, and filtering to locate the set of installments (payments) that you want (for example, filter the list to all those installments for February 2015, or your current month of interest). Then you can select all the displayed installments (or the subset you require) and update these as paid.
- Use Installment paid to mark selected installments as paid (this changes their Installment status to Complete)
- Use Cancel installment to reject selected installments (this changes their Installment status to Not going to pay)
- Select exactly one installment from the list, and click
Open to inspect or edit its other properties. For
example, if you want to change the actual amount paid for the installment, you
must open its properties. (Depending on your corporate procedures, you may also
wish to clear the Obligated to pay check box once payments have been made.) Another way to open the fly-up
properties of the individual installment is to click the Installment name in the list. For more information, see Making a Scheduled Payment.Tip: Clicking the Payment schedule name navigates away to the overall properties of the payment schedule. Clicking the Contract name navigates away to the contract's properties.
