❑Receipts may be recorded one at a time using the Receipts Form accessed from the Subscriber Options Menu in the Ribbon Menu of the the Subscribers Form
•That Receipts Form is designed for a "one-Receipt-from-one-Subscriber-at-a-time" posting process.
•However, this Receipt Posting Form (explained in detail below) offers two ways to identify the Source of the Revenue:
1.By the Invoice being Paid
2.By the Subscriber who is making the Payment.
✓In either case, this Receipt Posting Form will Post the Receipt to the Subscriber's account, create a Receipt record, and Allocate that Receipt to the appropriate Invoice(s) - all in one step!
•Existing Receipts - previously recorded but not fully Allocated, may be accessed and selectively allocated to specified Invoice(s).
✓Alternately, a Receipt may be selectively allocated to specific Detail Line Items on a selected Invoice.
•Therefore, the use of this Receipt Posting Form is recommended
a)When posting a Subscriber's Receipt that should be Allocated to several Invoices
b)When you have several Receipts that need to be posted to different Subscriber's account(s) or to specified Invoice(s)
c)When you want to allocate previously unallocated Receipts.
❖For General Ledger System Users - During the Allocations process, no Financial Transactions are posted to your Company's General Ledger System
❑Receipts should be Posted (and preferably, Deposited) Daily!
•There is no real reason "hold checks until we have enough to record".
✓From a security standpoint, all Payments received from Subscribers should be recorded on the day they are received.
✓Use either the "one at a time" posting method with the Subscribers Form Subscriber Options Menu's Receipts option, or, for rapidly entering multiple Receipts, use this Receipt Posting Form.
✓The advantage of using this Receipt Posting Form is that the Receipts for those Invoices are automatically Allocated as those Receipts are posted.
❖See the Making a Bank Deposit chapter for detailed information about Depositing Receipts.
❑Accessing this multi-purpose Receipt Posting Form:
1.Open the Backstage Menu and Select Maintenance, Choose Receivables then Click the Receipt Posting option, or
2.Open the Quick Access Menu and Select Maintenance, Choose Receivables then Click the Receipt Posting option, or

▪This method is usually used when a Payment (Amount of the Receipt) is intended to pay one specifically identified Invoice, and that Invoice Number is on the Invoice's Payment Stub which accompanied the Payment.
