list. Alternatively, you can use the
-Search-
facility by typing one or more letters of a Customer’s Name.
Having identified the correct A/C Code,
Select
it (double click has the same effect) and move on.
Name/Details
You can type up to 40 characters of text to describe the transaction you are entering, e.g. Shop Sales,
Tuesday Sales, Till Receipts etc. If you have already entered a Customer A/C Code then that Customer’s
name will automatically display in this box. When ready, move on.
Note: The Abbreviations feature can be used to save typing and to standardise the input of text.
Detail
This box, which you may skip if you do not wish to use it, allows you to further describe the transaction you
are entering and you may type in whatever you choose (maximum 40 characters). The drop-down list of
Abbreviations is the same one that appears with the Name/Details box above.
Total
Enter the total amount received. The total of the amounts entered in all Analysis Categories (including
ledger but excluding discount) must equal this figure.
Discount
(Only applies if you have chosen
No
to
Receipts/Payments Manual Allocation
).
This box only applies to ledger receipts. Enter the amount of any discount you are granting to a Customer
who is making a payment to you on account. Otherwise, ignore it and move on.
Quite often customers will “take” discount, e.g. by sending you a cheque for €700.00 when they owe you
€702.95. If you do not intend to pursue them for the balance of €2.95 you should enter it here as discount,
having entered €700 in the Total box. Both amounts will be posted to the Customer’s A/C in the Sales
Ledger and, in this case, cause their account to show a zero balance.
Note: The
Lookup
facility provides you with a short-cut to see the details on a Customer’s account. When at
the screen entitled
Lookup - Customers
highlight the appropriate Customer and activate the
Ledger
button. This will display the account balance and all the transactions in the form of a ledger card.
Ledger
When the receipt being entered is to a Customer’s A/C then the amount you entered as Total will be copied
into this box
automatically
. Once the transaction has been Saved, this figure will be used to update the
Sales Ledger A/C for that Customer.
Ledger Balance
When creating a Cash Receipt, when an Account Code is entered on the outstanding balance for that
customer is displayed in Ledger Balance. This is for information only so that you can see what is owed.
Analysis Categories
The system will only visit these boxes for non-Sales Ledger transactions. Enter appropriate amounts in one
or more of the boxes. The total of the amount(s) entered must equal the figure placed in the Total box.
Note: If you are only going to make an entry in one Analysis Category, or when you have only one Analysis
Category entry left to make, place the cursor in the appropriate box then press the
Page Down (PgDn)
key.
The system will ‘write in’ the amount for you, or calculate the remaining amount.
User Defined Field(s)
If relevant, enter appropriate details into either or both of the User Defined Fields. (Figure 2-4 above shows
one field as having been activated with the title 'House').
Save
or
Cancel
Provided you are satisfied with the accuracy of the transaction you can now
Save
it.
If you need to revisit one or more boxes you should point-and-click to wherever is appropriate. To erase the
whole transaction use either
Cancel
or press the
Esc
key.
