      • If the amount to be charged exceeds the check amount due on the invoice, you can allocate the extra money to one of the existing line items. This may happen in two instances…

        • The check includes the check fee, which is not yet a line item on the invoice. The allocation should look like the below screenshot, where more money is allocated to the line item than there should be. Once you click save, everything will allocate correctly.
