Settlement order	The order in which the transaction types that are displayed will be settled. You can modify this order.
Sort order	Select whether the selected attribute should be sorted in ascending or descending order when the settlement priority is applied.
Invoice line priority	Select the priority for how invoice lines will be settled: None – The invoice lines will be paid in the order in which they appear on the invoice. Billing code – The invoice lines will be paid in the order that is specified in the Billing classifications form. Proration – A part of each invoice line will be paid, based on the option that is selected in the Proration type field. Note This control is available only if the Public Sector configuration key is selected and the Mark lines on free text invoices and interest notes check box is selected in the Accounts receivable parameters form.
Extend billing code priority across invoices	Select this check box to settle all free text invoice lines that belong to the same billing classification in the order that is specified in the Billing classifications form. If this check box is selected, qualified invoices that have the highest billing classification priority will be identified, and then all of the highest priority billing code lines across these invoices will be selected before continuing to the billing code lines with the next-highest priority. If this check box is not selected, qualified invoices that have the highest billing classification will be identified, and then the billing codes will be selected on that invoice, in the billing code order that is specified, until the total payment is applied. If this check box is selected, invoices could be partially paid if the payment amount is insufficient. Note This control is available only if the Public Sector configuration key is selected and the Invoice line priority field is set to Billing code.
Proration type	Select how payments will be prorated for invoice lines: Equal – The payment will be divided and applied equally to each invoice line. Proportional – The payment will be divided into a proportionate amount and applied to each invoice line. The proportion is based on the line amount relative to the total invoice amount. Note This control is available only if the Public Sector configuration key is selected and the Invoice line priority field is set to Proration.
