Overview
The Open Items list is a list of all posted card transactions such as invoices, credits, payments, and miscellaneous debits and credits.Each open item starts with a balance equal to its value. Open items can be allocated against each other - for example, an open payment can be allocated against an open invoice - and the balance of each item is adjusted accordingly. When an item is fully paid and allocated, it is no longer outstanding in the open items list for that card.
The action button of 'Allocate' will only be visible on an open item if that open item has not been already allocated.
The action button of 'Unallocate' will only be visible on an open item if that open items has not been already unallocated.
