Overview
Explains how to allocate a payment when the period the payment was previously saved in has been closed in the Accounting Module.
Explanation
When you close a period in the Accounting Module, payments that were posted in that period become locked/frozen. If the payment has unallocated credits, these credits are converted to a transaction type of credit. If you need to allocate these credits you will need a new payment reference to do so.
