Assign Receipts

This Help File Page was last Modified on 12/07/2017

If you provide monitoring services for other Alarm Dealers and offer Recurring Billing and remote "Lock Box" services:

You may use the Import Payments feature to capture the Receipts in a batch from the "Lock Box" service.

The functionality is similar to Post Auto Draft - (1) in the case of the Auto Drafts the payments or charge Credit Cards are drafted on a preset basis, (2) in the case of Import Payments process, those Receipts are posted, based on monies received and processed by a third party.  

In both cases, the functions automatically Post and Allocate the Receipts to the oldest outstanding Invoices owed by those Subscribers.

If a different import file format must be used (i.e., one not using the Regulus standard), it may be custom designed using the Design Import File Formats process.

 

For a number of reasons - almost all of which relate to bad data - some Receipts may not be properly linked to a Subscriber during an Import Payments procedure.

These orphan Receipts will be posted to a Holding Account - a Subscriber record specifically entered for that purpose.

From this Holding Account, you will Transfer these Unassigned Receipts to the appropriate Subscriber(s) using the Assign Receipts function activated in the Receipt Transfer Form.

 

To access the Receipt Transfer dialog:

a)From the Backstage Menu System Select Maintenance and Choose Receivables then Click the Pay Import option, then Select Regulus/Wells Fargo Import Menu, or

b)From the Quick Access Menu, Select Maintenance and Choose Receivables then Click the Pay Import option, then Select Regulus/Wells Fargo Import Menu

Finally Click the Assign Receipts option to display the Receipt Transfer Form shown below.

 

Using the Receipts Transfer Form:

The Receipt Transfer dialog is used to identify and relocate (i.e., Transfer)  the Receipts that were assigned to the Holding Account which was created and designated for that purpose.
