When navigating to a specific invoice and clicking the blue **Payment** button, you will see a new tab labeled **Seller Deduction**. This option is available when a seller—who is also a bidder—has won lots and owes on an invoice. Instead of paying their outstanding invoice by credit card, check, or other standard payment methods, they can deduct the amount owed from the funds due to them through their open seller settlement. ### How It Works: - Select the **Seller Deduction** tab when initiating payment. - The **Payment Amount** field will display **$0.00** until an open seller settlement is selected. ![Screenshot 2026-02-14 at 9.48.31 AM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-14%20at%209.48.31%20AM%20(2).png?width=1052&height=742&name=Screenshot%202026-02-14%20at%209.48.31%20AM%20(2).png) - You can search for **all open seller settlements**, not just those associated with the current auction. - To locate the appropriate settlement, use the dropdown menu or begin typing the seller’s name in the search bar. You can also search by the auction name, the date of the auction that the settlement is associated with or the settlement #. ![Screenshot 2026-02-14 at 9.50.25 AM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-14%20at%209.50.25%20AM%20(2).png?width=926&height=717&name=Screenshot%202026-02-14%20at%209.50.25%20AM%20(2).png) - You may apply a settlement to cover the **entire outstanding invoice** or make a **partial payment**. If a partial payment is made, there will be a yellow text box that appears next to "Create Payment" that shows you how much of the outstanding invoices will still be due after the selected open seller settlement is applied.  ![Screenshot 2026-02-16 at 10.49.24 AM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-16%20at%2010.49.24%20AM%20(2).png?width=945&height=782&name=Screenshot%202026-02-16%20at%2010.49.24%20AM%20(2).png) ### After Payment Is Applied: - If the seller settlement covers the **full invoice amount**, the invoice will become **Locked**. - If only a **partial payment** is applied, the invoice will remain in **Outstanding** status. - Under the **Invoice Payments** section of the invoice, you will see the seller deduction payment listed, including the seller settlement number and name. ![Screenshot 2026-02-16 at 10.50.17 AM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-16%20at%2010.50.17%20AM%20(2).png?width=1889&height=724&name=Screenshot%202026-02-16%20at%2010.50.17%20AM%20(2).png) You can also navigate to the corresponding seller settlement. Under its **Payments** section, you will see the seller deduction payment reflected, and the remaining balance will update accordingly. ![Screenshot 2026-02-16 at 10.50.44 AM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-16%20at%2010.50.44%20AM%20(2).png?width=1900&height=798&name=Screenshot%202026-02-16%20at%2010.50.44%20AM%20(2).png) --- ## UPDATE: Bidder Invoice Payment Priority Previously, the system allowed you to select multiple outstanding invoices for a bidder and charge them collectively. That functionality remains; however, we have added a new section to improve visibility and clarity. When selecting multiple outstanding invoices (or even one singular outstanding invoice) for payment, you will now see a section at the bottom labeled: **“Selected Invoices (in order of payment priority)”** This section displays: - All selected outstanding invoices - The total combined amount due After reviewing the selected invoices and total, click the green **Next** button to proceed. You can then charge the full combined balance using your chosen payment method.  ![Screenshot 2026-02-16 at 10.55.53 AM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-16%20at%2010.55.53%20AM%20(2).png?width=1872&height=817&name=Screenshot%202026-02-16%20at%2010.55.53%20AM%20(2).png) **![Screenshot 2026-02-16 at 11.35.09 AM (2)](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-16%20at%2011.35.09%20AM%20(2).png?width=885&height=703&name=Screenshot%202026-02-16%20at%2011.35.09%20AM%20(2).png)**   When choosing the priority the invoices, if you are make a payment amount that is NOT a full amount due, it will apply the amount the bidder is paying to the invoice(s) balances in the ORDER in which you have set them. Using this logic concerning the situation below: ![Screenshot 2026-02-16 at 12.04.53 PM](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-16%20at%2012.04.53%20PM.png?width=800&height=537&name=Screenshot%202026-02-16%20at%2012.04.53%20PM.png)  If the bidder pays $6000, they would fully pay off invoice 1272-0168 and a partial payment of $523.14 left on invoice 1272-0166 and invoice 1272-0163 would not receive any payment. This is due to the ORDER or priority that was set in the prior screen shown below: ![Screenshot 2026-02-16 at 12.07.11 PM](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-16%20at%2012.07.11%20PM.png?width=800&height=856&name=Screenshot%202026-02-16%20at%2012.07.11%20PM.png) ---   ## **FEATURE: Super Admin Ability to Remove Payments from Invoices** An update has been made to the Super admin ability to delete payments. Super Admins can no longer delete cardpointe based payments. As you can see in the view below, the delete button has been removed from the card charging payment, but it still exists for the cash payment above it. ![Screenshot 2026-02-16 at 12.12.47 PM](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-16%20at%2012.12.47%20PM.png?width=800&height=322&name=Screenshot%202026-02-16%20at%2012.12.47%20PM.png) This was done primarily because the system requires you to go into cardpointe to also reverse this payment. If a client reaches out to delete this type of payment, we will have to go into cardpointe, reverse it and then the development team can go in and delete the payment, but only after we confirm the refund in Cardpointe. ## Related posts ## [Internal System Release Notes November 11th](https://devops.nextlot.com/blog/internal-system-release-notes-november-10th) [Development Team](https://devops.nextlot.com/blog/author/development-team) November 11, 2025 [Read more](https://devops.nextlot.com/blog/internal-system-release-notes-november-10th) ## [Internal System Release Notes December 3rd](https://devops.nextlot.com/blog/internal-system-release-notes-november-25th-clone) [Development Team](https://devops.nextlot.com/blog/author/development-team) December 3, 2025 [Read more](https://devops.nextlot.com/blog/internal-system-release-notes-november-25th-clone) ## [Internal System Release Notes April 7th 2026](https://devops.nextlot.com/blog/internal-system-release-notes-april-8th-2026) [Development Team](https://devops.nextlot.com/blog/author/development-team) April 7, 2026 [Read more](https://devops.nextlot.com/blog/internal-system-release-notes-april-8th-2026) [accounting report](https://devops.nextlot.com/blog/tag/accounting-report) ## . facebook-f icon linkedin-in icon Twitter icon instagram icon - Menu Item 1 - Sub-menu Item 1 - Another Item - Sub-menu Item 2 - Menu Item 2 - Yet Another Item - Menu Item 3 - Menu Item 4 --- [![](https://devops.nextlot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/NextLot%20-%20symbol%20-%20full%20color-1.png?width=100&height=100&name=NextLot%20-%20symbol%20-%20full%20color-1.png)](http://nextlot.com) 123 Main Street, City, State 11111 Copyright © 2026, NextLot - Client Email Blasts ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Development Team", "url" : "https://devops.nextlot.com/blog/author/development-team" }, "dateModified" : "2026-02-16T17:28:56.329Z", "datePublished" : "2026-02-16T17:28:56.000Z", "headline" : "Internal System Release Notes February 16th 2026", "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://devops.nextlot.com/blog/internal-system-release-notes-february-16th-2026", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://devops.nextlot.com/hubfs/NextLot%20-%20symbol%20-%20full%20color-1.png" }, "name" : "NextLot - Client Email Blasts" } } ```
