These instructions will guide you though the process of transferring a payment from one order to another. If a payment has been accepted for the wrong purchase it can be corrected by transferring the payment from within the Patron Payment Window.

	You can only transfer payments between orders for the same patron, not between patrons.
	There is also a feature that allows using a single payment to pay for multiple orders Sometimes this may be better than transferring the payment if the payment is a credit card, especially if your merchant provider only allows linked refunds. Transferring a card payment to another order will affect ability to refund.

This circumstance can happen, if a sale is refunded from an order but no refund payment is applied. This means, On Account, then a new sale is created and the order is paid On Account. This results in two orders in a patron record, one will show money is owed to the patron and a second showing the patron owes money. It will reflect on the Receivables Based on Order Balances report traditionally run with the End of Day Reports. See the following example.
