Hello Zicklee,

If you have created invoice successfully for the customer than here is the procedure to receive payment for customer.

Goto >> Accounting>>Customers>> Customer Payments

Create customer payment when you will select customer while creating payment than automatically Accounting entries will appear. Here is snap.

When you validate this payment then new tab will appear General Items which contain all the journal entries for this customer. Here is snap

If you want to create payment for cash than you will select cash journal while creating payment. for each type of payment you need to create journal. so account will be configured on journal it self no need to select account while creating payment.

Hope this will help.

Regards, Anil.
