The Invoice Item Settlement feature allows all the following settlement transactions at the item level:

• Payments
• Refunds
• Credit memos

Invoice Item Settlement allows you to explicitly specify how payments and credit memos are applied at the item-level on invoices or debit memos. You can then track precisely how outstanding balances are settled for every billed item. Without this feature, payments and credits are applied only at the document header level and allocated automatically across items. In the case of partial payments or settlement by different types of transactions, the system uses this automated mechanism to settle item-level balances.
