Fields in this window
Receive Money window

Window Overview | To use this window | Fields in this window | To find this window


Deposit to Account

Select this option if you wish to record a Receive Money transaction directly into an account that has been assigned bank or credit card privileges.

Deposit to Account field

Enter the account where the Receive Money transaction will be recorded. If you can't recall the number of the account you want, use the search button to view a list of your accounts.

Balance

This field displays the current balance of the account you selected in the Deposit to Account field. Click the zoom arrow to display the Find Transactions window and view more detailed information about the account.

Group with Undeposited Funds

Select this option to record a Receive Money transaction into the undeposited funds account. If you choose this option, the transaction you're entering will be recorded in the undeposited funds account -- not directly to your bank or credit card accounts. After you've grouped all of the cash receipts transactions you wish, you can then make a bank deposit which will include the group of Receive Money transactions you select.

Group with Undeposited Funds field

This field displays the account you've selected as your Bank Account for Undeposited Funds using the Nominal Ledger & Chequebook Linked Accounts window.

VAT Inclusive

Mark this check box only if you're required to show amounts on Receive Money transactions as VAT-inclusive.

If you are required, here's an example of what happens when the VAT Inclusive box is marked: If the amount of a line item you want to enter is £500.00 and the £500.00 amount already includes the VAT of 17.5%, you'll mark the VAT Inclusive check box. Enter £500.00 in the Amount field at the top of the Receive Money window and in the Amount column in the middle of the window. You'll see a VAT-inclusive amount of £500.00 in the Total Allocated field and the Total Paid field. An amount of £74.47 appears in the VAT field. (Select Recap Transaction from the Edit menu if you wish to see the transaction displayed showing the amount assigned to the account you entered in the Allocation Account columns.)

Once you mark the VAT Inclusive check box, it remains marked until the end of your session or until you change it.

Leave this check box unmarked if you wish the amount in the Total Paid field to increase by the VAT amount that is applied to line items. For example, if you enter £500.00 in the Amount column in the middle of the window and VAT is charged on the £500.00, the amount in the Total Paid field is £587.50. That is, £500.00 in the Total Allocated field and £87.50 for 17.5% VAT displayed in the VAT field for a total amount of £587.50 for the Receive Money transaction.

Payor

The Payor field is optional, but if you assign the transaction to a card from the Card File list, the transaction will appear in lists of transactions that are linked to the card.

Enter the name of the person or company in the Card File from whom you received this money, or click the search icon to display a search list of the people and companies in your Card File.

After a card name is entered in this field, you can click the zoom arrow to display the Card Information window and view detailed information about the person or company.

Amount Received

Enter the total amount of the Receive Money transaction.

When you record this transaction, the balance of the bank account or undeposited funds account you selected at the top of the window will be increased by the amount you enter here. If you enter a negative amount here, the bank account will be decreased by that amount.

Payment Method

Select the method of payment for the transaction, if you wish.

If you've assigned a payment method to a customer using the Payment Details view of the Card Information window, the payment method will be displayed when you enter the customer's name in the Payor field. You can change the payment method if you wish.

Details button

If you've entered an payment method in the Payment Method field, you can click the Details button to open the Applied Payment Details window and enter notes and other information about the payment method.

If you've entered payment information for a customer using the Payment Details view of the Card Information window, the information you entered earlier will appear as default entries. You can change the details, if you wish.

ID No.

When you begin to create a transaction in this window, this field automatically displays the next CR (Cash Receipts) number available.

If you click this field, Auto No. will be displayed. If you're using more than one workstation, autonumbering ensures that two or more users won't create transactions with the same transaction number at the same time. If you move the highlight to another field without entering a number here, the default cheque number will be displayed again.

If you choose to enter a number here, consider leaving the CR prefix assigned to the number, so it's easy for you to distinguish the transaction as a Cash Receipts Journal transaction. If you choose to enter a number in the ID No. field, the next time you record a Receive Money transaction, the ID No. will automatically revert to the next available CR number; the number you entered earlier will be disregarded.

Date

Enter the date of the transaction.

Memo

Enter a description of the transaction. This description will appear on various reports, as well as the Cash Receipts Journal.

Allocation Account column(s)

Enter the account(s) you want to assign this transaction amount to.

Enter the number of the account(s) you want to assign this transaction amount to. Typically, Receive Money transactions are assigned to income accounts. The name of the account you entered will also appear here. (If you don't know the number of the account, press the search arrow; the Select from List window will appear, displaying a list of all your accounts.)

If you've marked the preference Select and Display Account Name, Not Account Number in the Windows view of the Preferences window, one allocation account column is displayed. Enter the name of the account(s) you want to assign this transaction amount to. Typically, Receive Money transactions are assigned to income accounts. (If you don't know the name of the account, press the search arrow; the Select from List window will appear, displaying a list of all your accounts in alphabetical order.

Amount column

Enter the amount that you wish to assign to this account for this transaction. If you enter additional amounts in this column and if the total amount of the column doesn't match the amount in the Amount field (in other words, if the transaction is out of balance), this field will display a default amount that balances the transaction. You can change the default amount, if you wish.

The amount you entered in the Amount field is considered a debit amount, and the amounts you enter in this column are considered credit amounts. If you want an amount in this column to be used as a debit instead, enter the amount as a negative number.

Job column

You can assign a job to each account in the list. To do so, enter the job number here, or click the search icon to display a search list of jobs to choose from.

If you need to assign an amount from one account to more than one job, use multiple lines to record the transaction. For example, assume you want to credit your Miscellaneous Income account £100, but you want to assign £30 to job 12 and £70 to job 43. To do this, enter the Miscellaneous Income account in the Allocation Account column, then enter £30 in the Amount column and 12 in the Job column. Move to the next line, enter the Miscellaneous Income account again, and enter £70 in the Amount column and 43 in the Job column.

VAT column

Enter the VAT code that applies to each line item.

A default VAT code appears (Why is this the default VAT code?). Verify that the default is the right VAT code for each line item and change it if it is not correct.

Total Allocated

The amount(s) you apply in the Amount column will accumulate in the Total Allocated field and the Total Allocated amount must equal the amount that appears in the Amount Received field in the top half of the window before you can record the transaction.

If you marked the VAT Inclusive field, you'll notice the VAT inclusive total is in both the Total Allocated and Total Received fields.

VAT

This field displays the total of the VAT calculated for the line items. Click the zoom arrow next to the VAT field to open the VAT Information window.

If you marked the VAT Inclusive field, the VAT amount allocated to the VAT account appears in this field, but it is dimmed to indicate that it is already included in the Total Allocated.

Total Received

This field displays the amount entered in the Amount Received field. The Total Received must equal the total of the Total Allocated field and the VAT field before you record the transaction. In other words, the Out of Balance field must be zero before you record.

Out of Balance

This field displays the difference between the amount in the Total Received field and the total of the amounts in the Total Allocated field and the VAT field. The Out of Balance amount must be zero before you record.

Save Recurring button

Click this button to open the Save Recurring Template window. If you wish, you can save the transaction as a recurring template.
