Use this window to create receipts by entering an ID Number, payment, and payment details. These payments can include student payments, parent payments, or payments by a third party. Payments can be associated with a payment plan or applied to a student life sanction fine.
This window can be used to generate a debit to an account for special charges that are not automatically created by the charges generation process. |
For the first receipt you save, you must indicate a receipt number from the Form Control window. When all information is entered and the receipt is saved, the receipt prints (depending on the value selected in the Print Receipt column) and all other receipts are automatically numbered in the sequence they are added.
Use the bottom of the window to enter the specific transaction details, such as the transaction amount, check number, ABA number, and transaction description. When you select the type of receipt from the A/R Code drop-down options, the Account Code, Transaction Description, and Subsidiary Code are automatically completed.
To create additional folio options, right-click in the Check Number column and select Maintenance Screen. |

If you are using open items and are processing new receipts:
· And do not select the AutoGenerate Rows from Open Items checkbox, you can enter receipts as usual.
· And select the AutoGenerate Rows from Open Items checkbox, when you click the Generate Detail Rows button, the grid data window will populate with appropriate Open Item rows related to the ID Number and, in turn, will distribute the receipt amount (Cash Tendered) across the generated rows, depending on the Distribution Type selected. If you choose Proportional, the receipt amount will be distributed evenly across all populated Open Items rows. If you choose Priority, the receipt amount will be distributed in the priority order.
· Right-click within the detail grid and choose Select Open item to open the Select Open Item window to associate an open item with a transaction being entered. This option allows you to manually select an Open Item transaction.

The Attach Payment to Payment Plan window opens and you can select the appropriate option.
If a student has unpaid sanction fines, you are automatically notified and an option to apply the payment to the sanction appears. If you chose to apply the payment to the sanction fine, the Select Student Life Charges to Pay window appears where you can select the appropriate fine, enter the amount paid, and associate it to the appropriate A/R code, if needed.
When using a foreign currency, you can enter the home currency amount or the foreign currency amount (that will be calculated, based on the exchange rate). This is allowed to function both ways because the cashier will be asked what amount needs to be paid in foreign denomination to satisfy an amount owed in the home currency. In this case, the cashier can input the base currency amount owed and the corresponding amount to receipt in the foreign currency will be calculated by the system.
Only one currency per Receipt Header row is allowed. Therefore, if someone needs to pay in two currencies, two separate receipts must be generated. The currency code is required, and the default is the base or home currency. |

Is the general payment convenience fee applied to every receipt transaction when I accept it?
General payment convenience fees are applied only to the transactions that have a receipt code associated with a general payment convenience fee. The fee is not applied to payment plan payments since they have their own convenience fee association.
There could be a couple of reasons why the receipt total doesn't update, even when a transaction is associated with a Receipt Code that has a general payment convenience fee.
The Transaction Amount an/or Percent for the miscellaneous charge code may not be greater than 0. Check the Miscellaneous Charge Codes to verify the Transaction Amount and Percent are greater than 0, and check the Receipt Code Control window to confirm the appropriate Misc Charge Code is associated with the receipt code.
The receipt code may be associated with a transaction for a payment plan payment. General payment convenience fees are not applied to payment plan payments.
