# Adding Ledger Payments

You can manually add payments to balance a customer's ledger. Payments can be assigned to a specific invoice or added as unallocated to the ledger. 
:::(Warning) (**We strongly discourage adding unallocated ledger payments.**)
All payments that you manually add to the ledger should ideally be linked to an invoice in Nexudus.

*For example, adding an unallocated ledger payment for the value items that a customer purchased and paid for outside of Nexudus isn't the best option.*

*In this scenario, simply create an invoice for the items they already used/paid and then add a ledger payment, making sure you allocate the payment to the invoice you just created. The ledger payment will automatically mark the invoice as Paid and you'll have a record of the purchase and the payment in Nexudus.*
