# Enter deductions

A deduction is created in the **Payment Application** page whenever a payment is applied to less than the full amount of a ledger entry. Once a deduction is created, enter certain settings that instruct the program how to post the deduction.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Cash Receipt Journals**, and then choose the related link.
2. Select the relevant journal line.
3. On the **Actions** tab, in the **Functions** group, choose **Deduction Management**. The **Payment Application** page appears.
4. On the **Deduction Lines** FastTab, select the deduction line for which you want to enter settings.
5. Select the **Allowed** field if the deduction is permissible and does not require resolution at a later time.

You cannot mark a deduction as allowed if its type is unresolved.
6. Fill in the **Account No.** field with the account to which the deduction amount will be posted.
7. Fill in the other fields with additional deduction information if necessary.
