I am helping a friend with his books. He has been trying to do paperwork himself and has gotten into a total mess. his bank has never been reconciled.
and has customer invoices on accounts that have been paid, but he didn't know how to allocate the payment to the invoice therefor we have outstanding customer invoices dating back to 2013, is there anyway to clear these without having to go back through bank statements etc to allocate. these are from previous financial years.

The way to match the historical receipts/payments on the Customer/Supplier Ledger is to make a zero value customer receipts/supplier payment and to pay the payments on accounts and the invoices so that everything that is not outstanding is paid.
