How to record a partial payment on an expense

Not every bill is settled in one go. Jarbas accepts several payments on the same entry and keeps track of what's left.

How to record it

  1. Open the entry under Financial.
  2. Tap Add Payment.
  3. Jarbas suggests the outstanding amount — change it to what you're paying now.
  4. Check the Payment Date and pick the payment method.
  5. Confirm.

Repeat when you pay the rest.

Tracking what's left

Two totals appear inside the entry:

  • Paid Value — the sum of what's been paid.
  • Due Value — what's still outstanding.

Below them sits the list of payments, each with its method, amount and date.

The Add Payment button disappears once nothing is outstanding — that's how you know the bill is settled.

How to cancel a payment

Tap the payment in the list and choose Cancel Payment. Jarbas asks you to confirm.

A cancelled payment stays in the list, struck through. It no longer counts towards the totals, but the record remains — so you don't lose the history that it happened and was undone.

If the entry came from an order

Then the button becomes Add Payment in Order and takes you to the sale. That makes sense: the payment belongs to the order, and the financial entry mirrors it. Record it there and Financial updates itself.

If it asks you to open the till

If your account requires an open cash register to take payments, Jarbas says so and won't let you record one until a register is open.
