If a payment has been applied to an invoice, you can manually log it in MediaOS. This article will walk you through the steps of logging payments from the Invoice Details page.
Accessing the Payment Screen
- To access the invoice that you are applying payments for:
- Click Accounting from the left-hand navigation menu to display the invoices page.
- Click the View button next to the invoice that you want to view to display the invoice.
- You will now see the Invoice Details panel for this invoice.
- Scroll down to the Applied Payments section and click the New Payment button. The Payments window will appear next.
The Payments window will now display. When you enter a payment method, all open invoices for the client populate. You can use this page to input the payment type, confirm the last 4 digits of the credit card used, any notes about the payment, and the amount paid.
Entering a Payment
- Select the date that the payment was received from the Create Date field.
- Use the Payment Method drop-down menu to choose which kind of payment was received.

- If you need to add a new card or account, you can do so here by clicking the Add button next to the Payment Profile drop-down menu.
