There are certain types of transactions for which you should not use the receipting windows. |
You can receipt payments using several different windows depending on your organization's accounting method or the way you view account balances. The following windows are referred to as "receipting windows":
While the receipting windows are primarily used to enter receipts to student accounts, there are other types of transactions that the windows can handle. They can be used to credit a student's account for items such as discounts that were accidentally missed during charge generation. While this kind of entry could also be made via Transaction Entry window in General Ledger, we would need to know each detail of the transaction (such as account numbers) or look it up.
As receipts are typed into the system and accepted, persons using other functions in the A/R module will immediately be able to see those transactions.
|
If you enter and accept a receipt for a student, anyone looking at their account using the A/R Inquiry window will be able to see that payment. That transaction will most likely have an unposted status code. |
When a payment is accepted on the receipting windows, a receipt is created and will print at a designated printer. If several people are using a receipting window and are configured to use the same printer, their receipt numbers will generate according to the next available number. If they are using separate printers, each session will have its own series of receipt numbers.
