View Payments History and Allocate Payments

As a customer service representative, you will address different customer issues.

You receive a call from a customer that payment is made, but there is a balance due on the account. You navigate to payment history for that specific bill unit, and then view allocated or unallocated amount details. You see that bill isn't paid completely and hence the bill is still shown as due for the customer. You help the customer understand and settle the unpaid amount. You will create a new payment and apply it to the unpaid bill amount.
