Pay order for aggregate accounts

Each sub account that is associated with a master account can be assigned a pay order number. When you receive a payment for an aggregate bill, the pay order determines the order in which payment is applied to the sub bills.

To set the pay order of the sub accounts, enable editing in the Sub Accounts grid and edit the numbers in the Pay Order column.

The Pay Master Account list indicates when the master account is paid. Select Before Sub Accounts or After Sub Accounts.

You can also optionally exclude one or more sub accounts from the pay order. If a sub account has no pay order, then funds from payments to the master account will not be automatically applied to the sub account's bills. The sub bills must be paid separately, or the master account credits can be applied toward the sub accounts using Apply Credits.

To exclude sub accounts from the pay order, first clear the Pay Order Required for All check box. If a sub account is not included in the pay order, set the value in the Pay Order column to 0.

Note: The Pay Order Required for All check box is selected by default for aggregate account types that have dependent sub accounts, and cleared by default for aggregate account types that have independent sub accounts.

You can also quickly assign and clear the pay orders for sub accounts by clicking the Assign Pay Orders to All button or the Clear Pay Orders for All button above the Sub Accounts grid.

After editing the pay order, click Save to save your changes.
