A voucher template is required if the total payment amount is to be controlled for the voucher.
The sum of payments registered in a voucher can be controlled by the system to verify that it matches the payment amount received and accounted on our bank account. The total received amount can be registered for the voucher either directly in Amount to apply or by entering Opening balance and Closing balance for the bank account. The required voucher template must, therefore, show either the Amount to apply or Opening balance and Closing balance.
Below, Opening balance and Closing balance are described in detail. If you want to show Amount to apply, follow the same steps and switch on its display attribute.
