Not every bank item is 1:1 with one document. Payfriend supports split-match: one deposit (or payment) can be allocated across several invoices/documents — and several bank items can link to one document when amounts add up.
Why it matters
Customers often pay several invoices in one transfer. Suppliers pull partial amounts. Without split-match you get “almost right” matches and a skewed balance.
How it works in Payfriend
Several invoices → one deposit
Open the deposit under Bank
Select multiple open invoices/documents that together match the amount
Allocate amounts if the UI asks (full or partial per invoice)
Confirm the match
Partial payment on one invoice
The customer pays only part:
Match the paid amount to the invoice
Invoice stays partially paid with a remainder
The next deposit matches the rest
Fees and rounding
If the bank takes a fee, amounts won’t be 1:1. Match the main amount to the document and handle the fee per your bookkeeping practice so the difference doesn’t hang unmatched.
What you should do
Use Confirm bank match as the base flow
Check that partial matches sum to the bank item
Track remaining balances under Invoices
