Overview:
The Cash Receipt window allows you to apply cash in several different ways:
- Apply a Cash Receipt against specific customer invoice numbers.
- Apply a Cash Receipt as a “miscellaneous sales” transaction, crediting a selected OU and account number (i.e., service charges paid by the customer).
- Apply a Cash Receipt against open an AR invoice “on account,” meaning a credit is posted to the customer AR balance with no reference to an existing customer invoice number (i.e., you are not sure which invoice the customer is paying).
- Apply a Cash Receipt as a credit to job cost, typically a back charge situation.
