I am after some help on the following issue:

I have a client who overpaid an invoice - this over payment was held until their next invoice to be applied then. 

My issue is this.  

The original payment was used to pay a client say called "Job", the credit is under this client. 

However I have created a new job under this client, say called "Job - Two". I want to apply the credit to an invoice under this job (same client), however the credit will not show in the apply credit screen. I can only seem to used it under an invoice under "Job". 

Any suggestions ?

    I would just edit the original overpayment to Job-Two - save this and now you should be able to apply the credit?  then I would use the Memo field on the original overpayment to explain what happened

    Yes I could but that would mean that my costing for that job would be out, as we track our jobs.

    Also when I allocated the original payment, the payment was across multiple invoices, which include Job and Job-Two - but for some reason it will only let me use the over payment against the main supplier account.

    I was just about to login and say you needed to use a suspense account - when I saw this - well done!  :)
