# Allocating a payment to an invoice

You can specify a specific invoice to allocate the customer's bill payment.

1. Check **Apply to Invoice Number** on the Bill Payment window. This activates the drop-down list of invoice numbers.
2. Select the invoice number. This populates the Invoice Date and Invoice Amount of that invoice.
3. Continue tendering the bill payment by clicking **Tender**. See [Tendering](/v1/docs/tendering).
