Payable allocation
Introduction/Purpose:
Payable allocation is the practice of assigning a payment to specific liabilities or accounts payable in an organisation. This involves transferring funds from a payment to related invoices, bills, or obligations that must be settled.
Dependency:
- Accounts payable integration: The payable allocation technique is dependent on the payable allocation module being integrated with the accounts payable module. This interface ensures precise and efficient payment allocation by allowing for seamless data transmission and synchronisation.
- Payment prioritisation criteria: Some organisations may have special payment prioritisation criteria, such as distributing payments to the oldest bills first or prioritising payments based on essential vendors.

The navigation includes the following steps for viewing the payable allocation in the financial management system.
- Click on the transactions tab: The transactions can be accessed by clicking on the transactions tab on the side menu.
