1. In the Select Invoices to Pay - Payment Selection window (AP Tasks, Select Invoices to Pay, On-screen List), select the invoice and then click Partial at the bottom of the task screen.
2. Use this window to make a partial payment or enter a lump-sum payment. To make a partial payment, enter the amount in one of the following fields:
   • Pay now: Gross amount you want to pay. TIP: If there is still retainage to be held back, leave Pay Now blank and use Net to Pay. The software will calculate the gross Pay Now amount and retainage to be held to arrive at your Net to Pay amount.
   • Net to Pay: Enter the net amount of the payment. (Gross minus discount to apply, minus retainage to held, minus deduction to apply.) The discount is subtracted from the gross.
3. Note: Based on the amount you are paying, Discount, Retainage, and Miscellaneous Deduction under Apply now will prefill. If you partially pay an invoice in Select Invoices to Pay, the system automatically pays each distribution in full up to the amount of the partial payment. The distributions are paid in the order that they are entered. If you need to partially pay a specific distribution:
   1. Click Distributions.
   2. Select the distribution then click Partial.
   3. Enter the amount in either Pay Now (gross amount to pay) or Net to Pay.
   4. Click OK.
   5. Click Invoices to return to the invoice display of the Payment Selection window.
   6. Proceed to step 5.
4. Once you have your partial payment entered in the correct field, click OK to accept the partial payment and return to the Payment Selection window.
5. In the Payment Selection window, you will now see in the Net To Pay column the amount of the partial payment for the invoice selected.

Note: If the partial payment is going to pay the rest of the non-retainage on a distribution plus some of the retainage, you will need to mark the Retainage Invoices Only box in the Select Invoices to Pay - Selection Criteria window so that you can enter the Net to Pay amount that you need.
