How does the advance collection allocation work on ADDA?

ADDA offers two modes of advance collection:


Mode 1: Collection through Payment Gateway (ADDA Resident App)


Request ADDA support to enable the advance payment feature for your ADDA by emailing to support@adda.io


Once enabled, residents can go to the ADDA Resident App and make an advance payment under My Unit > My Dues > Advance/Deposit and then click the "Pay Advance" button, Enter the amount and description then click on "Proceed"

The payment will be auto-allocated to open invoices using the FIFO method, with the remaining amount posted as an advance for members.


Mode 2: Collection through ADDA Admin Portal


Use this mode for transactions such as cheques, NEFT, RTGS, etc. that are not made through the payment gateway.


Go to Income Tracker > Member Income,  Click the "Collection" button against the unit.


A new tab will open, Click "Post an Advance Collection or Auto Allocate."


Fill in the necessary details and post the transaction.


The payment will be auto-allocated to open invoices using the FIFO method, with the remaining amount posted as an advance for members.


Allocating Advance Collection to a Specific Income Head


Go to Income Tracker > Member Income,  Click the "Collection" button against the unit.


A new tab will open, Click "Post an Advance Collection or Auto Allocate."


Fill in the necessary details and uncheck the "Post Payments to Any Invoice on FIFO Basis" option.


Select the desired income head account to allocate the advance collection and then click on "Post amount."


When an invoice is generated for the same income head account, the system will automatically allocate the advance collection against that invoice.
