More Manual Posting Information:

 

 
Note: Credit Card payments should not be tracked using the manual posting process and instead, should continue to be posted using the existing PAYMENT ROA and ROA Tender process.

Cash Drawer Tracking:

Any payments manually posted from the POST ENTRIES screen using the:

'PC - CASH PAYMENT' posting code are automatically added to the cash drawer of the employee creating the payment. 
'PC - CHECK PAYMENT' posting code the payment are automatically added to the cash drawer of the employee creating the payment. When the drawer is closed, the payment is added to the 'ROA CHECKS' total on the DAY / CASH CLOSE screen, and will be included in the 'CLOSE TOTAL'.
'PC - OTHER PAYMENT' posting code does not affect the cash drawer and continues to be used to track manual payments.
 
The 'EDIT THE PO' right-click option is not available on the POST ENTRIES screen for payments posted as 'PC - CASH PAYMENT' or 'PC - CHECK PAYMENT'.  Since these payments get written like ROA payments, the PO value cannot be changed.

DAY/CASH CLOSE Screen:


When posted, the 'PC - CASH PAYMENT' and 'PC - CHECK PAYMENT' options assign a cash drawer the same way creating payments from the 'ROA' button does.

Any payments manually posted from the POST ENTRIES screen using the 'PC - CASH PAYMENT'/'PC - CHECK PAYMENT' payment codes are tracked as "tender" amounts and therefore, both A/R reporting and cash drawer  tracks them as 'I' (invoiced) instead of 'P' (posted).

When a cash drawer is closed, any payments will be displayed on the DAY / CASH CLOSE screen as follows:

 - 'ROAs' grid - Both 'P' and 'I' payments.
 - 'POSTED' field - Total of 'P' payments only.
 - Right side column 'ROA CASH' total - Total of the 'I' payments including payments manually posted as 'PC - CASH PAYMENT'.
 - Right side column 'ROA CHECK' total - Total of the 'I' payments including payments manually posted as 'PC - CHECK PAYMENT'.

Since payment credits added using the 'PC - CASH PAYMENT'/'PC - CHECK PAYMENT' codes are tracked with the code of 'I', they are included in the 'CLOSE TOTAL'.

The 'POST ENTRIES PRINT ROA DEFAULT' flag in the AR CONTROL SETUP screen determines the default of the 'PRINT ROA' flag. When the 'POST ENTRIES PRINT ROA DEFAULT' flag is checked, the 'PRINT ROA' flag defaults to checked. When the 'POST ENTRIES PRINT ROA DEFAULT' flag is unchecked, the 'PRINT ROA' flag defaults to unchecked.

The value of the 'EDIT ROA DISCOUNT' proc under 'MANAGER APPROVAL POPUP' in the OVERRIDE SECURITY screen determines if the DISCOUNT $ and % fields are editable. This proc overrides the value of the 'SHOW ROA DISCOUNT' in the AR CONTROL SETUP screen.

 

Note: If 'CALCULATE STATEMENT DISCOUNT IF PAST DUE' is checked on the SYSTEM GENERAL SETUP screen, the 'DISCOUNT $' amount is based on the amount in 'CURRENT' if the payment is made after the due date. The 'DISCOUNT $' amount is based on the amount in 'CURRENT' combined with the amount in '1-30' if the payment is made on or before the due date, or if there is no due date set up for the customer.

 

Note: If 'CALCULATE STATEMENT DISCOUNT IF PAST DUE' is unchecked on the SYSTEM GENERAL SETUP screen, the 'DISCOUNT $' amount is based on whether the account was past due at the time of the most recent statement. 

 

TOTAL

When a value is entered in the field, the DISCOUNT amount and % are automatically calculated and display in the 'AMOUNT' field if the 'SHOW ROA DISCOUNT' flag is checked in the AR CONTROL SETUP screen.

Posted Errors

The 'PE - POSTED ERROR' posting code is used to reverse posting errors.

 

When selected in the 'PAYMENT' field in the POST ENTRIES screen, the 'POSTED ERROR' window displays with a list of all the posted transactions that can be reversed.

 

 

The PE posting code can be used to reverse the following posted debit and posted credit transactions manually added:

 

  • 'PC - PAYMENT CREDIT' (Credit)
  • 'IA - INVOICE ADJUST' (Debit/Credit)
  • 'CM - CREDIT MEMO' (Credit)
  • 'DM - DEBIT MEMO' (Debit)
  • 'TA - TAX ADJUST' (Debit/Credit)
  • 'DC - DISCOUNT CREDIT' (Credit)

 

The 'PC - PAYMENT CREDIT' transaction can be reversed when posted from the POST ENTRIES screen or created as an ROA from the INVOICE screen.

 

AR posting codes that are created by the system cannot be reversed. However, if any manually posted codes are applied to these system-generated transaction types, the PE posting code will undo the postings and return the transaction to its original status. These posting codes are:

 

  • 'ID - INVOICE DEBIT'
  • 'IC - INVOICE CREDIT'
  • 'PB - PREVIOUS BALANCE'
  • 'FC  FINANCE CHARGE'
  • 'CE - CASH ENTRY'
  • 'DA - DATED INVOICE'
  • 'XC - EXTERNAL CREDITS'
  • 'XD - EXTERNAL DEBITS'

 

The PE code is available to reverse a posted transaction until the end of day has been run. Posted transactions (PC, IA, CM, DM, TA or DC) entered erroneously that were created before the last end of day close are not available to apply a PE code against regardless whether the 'DEPOSIT' flag is checked at the time of posting or not. An erroneous transaction is backed out of the DAY/CASH CLOSE screen when the PE transaction is created and will "undo" any transactions entered by mistake. The PE code is not available for transactions that have aged at end of period.

 

Erroneous transactions and their reversals are deleted by the system if the Account Conversion Utility is run.

User Security

 
The 'SHOW POSTING ERRORS' security proc in the USER SECURITY SETUP screen, located under AR, allows/disallows viewing/accessing the PE code in the POST ENTRIES screen and the 'SHOW POSTING ERRORS' flag in the VIEW ENTRIES screen.

When set to 'NOT VISIBLE', the PE posting code to reverse posted transactions in the POST ENTRIES screen and the PE transactions in the grid display but are grayed out and unavailable. The 'SHOW POSTING ERRORS' flag in the VIEW ENTRIES screen is hidden.

When set to 'VIEW ONLY', the PE posting code to reverse posted transactions in the POST ENTRIES screen and the PE transactions in the grid display but are grayed out and unavailable. The value of the 'SHOW POSTING ERRORS' flag in the VIEW ENTRIES screen can be edited.

When set to 'ALLOW EDIT', the PE posting code to reverse posted transactions in the POST ENTRIES screen displays and are available for selection and the PE transactions display in the grid. The value of the 'SHOW POSTING ERRORS' flag in the VIEW ENTRIES screen can be edited.

Procedure to Reverse Posting Error on Manually Added Posted Debit/Credit

To reverse a posting error on a manually added posted debit or posted credit, follow the steps below:

 

  1. From the Menu, select Customer, Entry Info, Post Entries. The POST ENTRIES screen displays.

  2. Select the desired account. The screen populates with account related information.

  3. Search for an ROA from Point-of-Sale or post a PC, DC, DM, CM, TA, or IA erroneously.

  4. Select 'PE - POSTED ERROR' in the 'PAYMENT' field. The 'AMOUNT', 'DISCOUNT $ or %', 'TOTAL', 'CHECK NO.', and 'MEMO' fields are grayed out and unavailable. The 'DEPOSIT' and 'PRINT' fields are unchecked and unavailable. The 'POSTED ERROR' window displays listing all posted transactions that can be reversed. The last transaction manually posted by the user or the last ROA added by the program is highlighted.

  5. Select an entry. (Only one posted transaction can be reversed at a time.)   

  6. Click 'OK'. The window closes. A prompt displays stating, "The selected transaction will be removed. Are you sure?"

  7. Click 'YES' to clear the erroneous transaction or 'NO' to close the prompt to return to the POST ENTRIES screen without resetting the screen.  If 'YES' was clicked, the erroneous transaction is reversed. For example, if a 'PC - PAYMENT CREDIT' was posted, a PE debit transaction is posted to offset the credit.   

  8. Navigate to the VIEW ENTRIES screen to view the PE transaction.

Print

When the 'PAYMENT' Type for an OI-Statement, OI-Standard, and Balance Forward payment type is 'PC-PAYMENT CREDIT', the 'PRINT' field displays. When an applied or unapplied payment transaction is completed, the same ROA form that prints when an ROA is tendered from the INVOICE screen prints with the payment information, when the 'PRINT' field is checked. The application prints the selected form from the 'ROA FORM' field in the FORMS SETUP screen.

 

The check number prints on the ROA when a check number is entered in the 'CHECK NO.' field. The memo prints on the printed receipt when a memo is entered in the 'PAYMENT MEMO' field. The employee logged in to the application is tracked as the 'CASHIER' on the printed receipt. 

Reprint Invoices

The 'REPRINT INVOICES' button allows the reprinting of multiple invoices at the same time. When clicked, the 'REPRINT INVOICES' window displays with each invoice currently available from the screen for the displayed account.
