Application Method Field, Vendor Table

Specifies how to apply payments to entries for this vendor. Select Manual to manually specify the document that a payment applies to. This is the default method. Select Apply to Oldest to automatically apply payments to the oldest open vendor ledger entry.

Select between two options:

Option	Description
Manual	Payments are only applied if you specify a document.
Apply to Oldest	If you do not specify a document for the payment to be applied to, payments are applied to the oldest of the vendor's open entries.

Note

Manual is used by default if the Application Method field is empty.
