This is particularly helpful when customers make partial payments. When you choose the "Apply-to-Oldest" method, the system can automatically apply receipts to the oldest invoices for specific customers.

Establish a tolerance level of several days to apply and close an invoice and payment, even if you receive the discounted payment later than the discount date specified by the payment terms. Discount tolerance can be automatically allowed or decided on a case-by-case basis.
