Customer Statement - Change Overpayment term to Direct Payment
Because overpayments are the only means of receiving or spending money directly in the control accounts (A/R and A/P), they should be called direct payment. On a statement, the activity is called Overpayment, which confuses clients. To the layman, overpayment indicates an error in payment.
If not Direct Payment, can it be called Payment?
Thanks for sharing your feedback here. We understand the request for statements to use terminology that better matches the type of payment being recorded, rather than displaying Overpayment.
