General Ledger Transactions from Receipts

When you approve and save a Receipt, a General Ledger Transaction will be generated automatically if you have so determined in the Sub Systems setting in the General Ledger. An example is illustrated below:

The Debtor Control Account for the Invoice being paid will be transferred to the Receipt. For details about how this is chosen, please refer to the General Ledger Transactions from Invoices page.

If the Receipt is an On Account Receipt, the On Account A/C specified in the Account Usage A/R setting will be credited instead of the Debtor Account.

The Bank or Cash Account posting will be determined by the Payment Mode that you specify in the Receipt. This will refer to a record in the Payment Modes setting, available in the Receivables and Payables modules. You should list in this setting the various payment methods that you and your Customers use, such as check, cash, credit card. You can attach a different Account to each payment method, allowing you to receive payments into different bank and cash accounts.

Once the Transaction has been generated, you can look at it straight away using the 'Open GL Transaction' function on the Operations drop-down menu.
