If you received a payment from a client for a different amount than what was originally agreed upon, you can make adjustments to the expected total. To do this, you''ll update the payment amount to match what you received, and then mark the payment as paid.
📚 Tip
If you need to change a payment that you already marked as paid, you'll have to change its status back to unpaid first. Once you do that, you can make the necessary adjustments and mark it as paid again.
