How to manage the payment of invoices generated independently

Independent invoices (created from Invoices, not from a booking) need the payment logged on the invoice itself. Walk through the 5-step Record a payment flow.

Overview

An independent invoice is one you generate manually from the Invoices section — not from a reservation. Because there's no booking attached, you can't log the payment on the booking; you record it directly on the invoice. This article shows how.

For invoices generated from a booking, see how to create, manage, and download invoices.


Before you start

  • Recording a payment here is a bookkeeping action — it marks the invoice as paid in Amenitiz. It does not charge the client; the money has to be collected separately (cash, bank transfer, card terminal…).

  • Once an invoice is marked as paid, it's locked: you can't edit lines, amounts or VAT. If something is wrong, you'll need to cancel the invoice and reissue it.

  • The payment recorded here lands in the Registered payments report, not on a booking timeline.


Record a payment on an independent invoice

  1. Go to Invoices in the sidebar and open the Invoices tab.

  2. Find the invoice in the list, click the menu on its row, then choose Details.

  3. In the invoice details, click Record a payment.

  4. Enter the Amount and pick a Payment method (cash, bank transfer, card, etc.).

  5. Click Add payment. The invoice's Payment status updates immediately.


FAQs

Can I split the payment across several methods?

Yes. Record one payment per method — for example, half in cash and half by bank transfer. Each entry is a separate row on the invoice; once the sum matches the total, the invoice flips to Paid.


I made a mistake on a paid invoice — how do I fix it?

A paid invoice is locked and can't be edited. You have to cancel it with a credit note and issue a new, correct invoice.


Does recording a payment here charge the client's card?

No. This is a manual entry — Amenitiz registers that the payment has been received but does not move any money. Collect via your card terminal, bank transfer or cash, then come back and log it.


The invoice came from a booking, not from the Invoices section — does this still apply?

No. For invoices tied to a reservation, log the payment on the booking itself (Payments tab) and the linked invoice will follow. See how to create, manage, and download invoices for the booking-linked flow.


Where do I see all the payments I've logged?

In the Registered payments report — open the Reports section, select the report and send it to your email. It includes every payment recorded across bookings and independent invoices for the selected period.
