## Apply restrictions in the receivables

For each payment mode, you can define the existence of an **additional value control** (that exceed the total), configuring the corresponding control value.

That is, when specifying a control value, you are avoiding all sales that exceed this value.

Besides defining an additional value control, you can also define stations **where that control is not applicable.** This feature allows to, for example, have a management station with the chance to receive an amount that exceeds the one defined on the control.

**Activate additional value control**

1. Access **Finances |** **P. Cash and Banks |** **Tables | Bank Postings;**
2. Select the desired posting or create a new type of posting;
3. On the tab **Points of Sale,** activate the option **Control additional value**;
4. Define on the fiels **Accepted additional value** the amount you wish to allow;
5. Click **Save**.

**Ignore value control in stations**

1. Access **Finances |** **P. Cash and Banks |** **Tables | Bank Postings;**
2. Select the desired point of sales or create a new one;
3. On the tab **General,** activate the option **Ignore additional value control in Payment Methods**;
4. Click **Save**.
