Posted by Alease on Nov 21, 2025 at 07:28 PM

A revenue cloud customer has posted a cash payment that was created on account A by

mistake.what are the stepsto apply this to the correct invoice on account B?

Suggested Answer: B

In Salesforce Revenue Cloud, if a cash payment has been posted to the wrong account by mistake, the recommended steps to correct this are as follows:

Allocate the Payment: If the payment has been allocated, the first step is to allocate the payment. This means assigning the payment to the specific invoice it was intended for.

Create a Refund: Once the payment has been allocated, the next step is to create a refund. This will effectively reverse the payment that was made in error.

Create a New Payment for Account B: After the refund has been created, a new payment can be made for the correct account (Account B in this case). This payment should be allocated to the correct invoice on Account B.

It's important to note that these steps ensure that the payment records are accurate and reflect the correct allocation of funds. This is crucial for accurate financial reporting and for maintaining the integrity ofthe account's payment history.

I think option A sounds right, but I’m a bit confused about whether we need to do anything else after allocating the payment.

I feel like canceling the payment and starting over might be the safest option, but I can't recall if that's the best practice.

I remember a similar question where we had to reparent a payment. Is that what we need to do here with account B?

I'm leaning towards option B. Allocating the payment, creating a refund, and then making a new payment on account B seems like the safest way to handle this.

Okay, let me think this through. I believe the key is to first allocate the payment, and then we can either reparent it or create a refund and a new payment. I'll need to review the details carefully.
SU

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Should we just cancel the payment and create a new one on account B instead? I'm not sure if reparenting is the right move.
