# Owner Credit and Overpayments

When an owner pays more than the amount due on an invoice or makes an extra payment (credit), this extra amount is saved as a credit on their account. Here’s how the system manages these credits and how you can use them:  

1.  Tracking the Credit:  
    The extra payment or overpayment will appear in the owner's account as a **green credit amount**.  
    You can see this credit balance listed in the **Owners List Balances** to easily keep track of it.  
2.  Viewing the Credit in Transactions:  
    \- On the **Transactions page**, the overpaid amount will show up in the **Payments Section**.    
    \- If the credit hasn’t been linked to an invoice yet, it will appear as either **unassigned** or **partially assigned**.  
3.  Applying the Credit to a New Invoice:  
    \- To apply this credit to a new or existing invoice:  
    1.  Go to the **Transactions page.**
    2.  Find the payment in the **Payments section**. 
    3.  Click **Edit payment**.  
    4.  Select the relevant invoice you want to assign the credit to. 
    5.  Save your changes.  
4.  Alternatively you can follow the usual payment process and in the payment screen, select from available credits.

  
This process ensures the owner’s payments are correctly applied, helping you maintain accurate records and minimise confusion around balances.
