# New Features - Release 2.193 - Dec 18, 2024 - Partial Manual Payments & Change Installment Allocations
## Move your installment allocations to smooth our the installment schedule and make partial manual payments or make a charge
### 👀 Recording of our December Workshop

- Requiring login (account) for security and/or operational consistency

### Smooth out Traveler Payment Schedules
Watch this video to see these features in action:
#### 📦 Ability to move an Allocation from one Installment to another
- If you're finding there's an issue with an Invoice, it could be because an allocation is on the wrong installment. This happens sometimes, with [Transfers](https://support.youli.io/how-to-transfer-move-a-traveler-to-another-trip?hsLang=en) or [Chip Away](https://support.youli.io/chip-away-faq?hsLang=en) or [Manual Payments](https://support.youli.io/4412041306511-how-to-add-a-manual-payment-for-a-traveler?hsLang=en) that weren't applied correctly.
- When a payment is against the balance, it triggers ["skipped" installments](https://support.youli.io/skipped-installments-when-a-traveler-pays-the-balance-and-then-their-price-changes?hsLang=en) - if you're seeing that and would prefer to avoid that, please use this new feature to MOVE the installment from the balance.
*#9608 - Thanks to everyone for sharing feedback to improve this experience*
#### 💸 Allocate a Manual Payment to an Installment that is Partially Paid
- If a TRAVELER has paid an Installment, but then you receive an extra payment (maybe because they added an Add-on) you can apply that as a "partial" Manual Payment to the previously paid Installment (thus avoiding the ["skipped" Installments](https://support.youli.io/skipped-installments-when-a-traveler-pays-the-balance-and-then-their-price-changes?hsLang=en) that happen when a payment is made to the Balance).
- Previously, you could not allocate another manual payment if there was already a partial payment made to that Installment. So you might have allocated to the Balance before it's the right time (triggering [Skipped Installments](https://support.youli.io/skipped-installments-when-a-traveler-pays-the-balance-and-then-their-price-changes?hsLang=en)).
- This is very helpful if you've setup a monthly payment schedule, but they are sending checks or bank transfers on a weekly basis, so your finance team is recording them as manual payments
- **NOW: You can allocate a payment to *any* Installment. The default will be the next Installment that has a due amount.**
*#8616 - Thanks to everyone for sharing feedback to improve this experience*
#### 🎗️ Skipped Installments no longer send reminders
- We introduced ["skipped" Installments](https://support.youli.io/skipped-installments-when-a-traveler-pays-the-balance-and-then-their-price-changes?hsLang=en) this year to handle cases where people pay in full - but then their price increases for some reason.
- Reminders never send if the TRAVELER owes $0, but if they do owe greater than $0, reminders were still sending for "skipped" installments. **Those are now stopped.**
- So if you need someone who had paid in full and now owes a bit extra to get a reminder - you'll need to send it manually from "Manage Payments."
*#9585 - Thanks to everyone for sharing feedback to improve this experience*
#### 🌐 Location link now opens in a new tab on Highlights & Itinerary
When using the Location field on a Highlight or Itinerary, that link automatically goes to a Google Maps window. Now it also opens in a new tab.

### 🐞💪 Bugs & Enhancements
#### 👭 Paying Separately - one paid in full, the other still owes - FIXED
When using the [Book together/Pay separately](https://support.youli.io/book-together-pay-separately?hsLang=en) feature, it's possible for one person to pay in full and the other to still owe their deposit.
There was a bug that blocked the second person from paying their Installments; in this case that has now been fixed.
*#9704 - Thanks to Lisa Laws from The Black Onyx Group for reporting*
#### 🌐 Global Bookings Report just got faster
