The waterfall process flows the available credit as follows:
1. Location
2. AP purchase invoice dates (oldest first)
3. Payment priority (highest first)
4. Recommended payment date (oldest first)
5. Greatest amount due (greatest first)
6. AP purchase invoice reference number

Intacct applies credit to the owning entity first. If you configure your company to limit credits to just the owning entity, credits are applied to the AP purchase invoices of the owning entity and no other. Any remaining credit is reserved for other AP purchase invoices owned by that entity.
