Accounts Receivable Receipts Form

To access this form, go to Transactions>Accounts Receivable>Receipts

Use this form to start the session into which you want to enter receipt transactions. You can do this either by creating a new session or by selecting an existing session from the Unposted Sessions table, which lists all invoice sessions with a current status of either Batch-to-Post or Batch-to-Suspend.

 

Accounts Receivable Receipts Form Fields

Use the form fields to create or update an Accounts Receivable Receipts session.

Session ID

The session ID is used to link each transaction to the session into which it was entered, making it possible to track the origin of any entry. For example, if you print a general ledger report and include the session ID column, the session ID for each debit or credit is listed in the report.

To create a new session, enter a unique session ID representing the group of related documents.

While any sequence of characters can be entered to identify the batch of documents, using a logical and consistent method of assigning the session IDs makes locating specific information much easier and provides a better audit trail.

To have the system assign a session ID:

  • Click the icon, or

  • Click in the Session ID field and press the '+' key on your keyboard's number pad

Note: If a Session ID is used one year, the same Session ID cannot be reused the following year.

The remaining fields and buttons of the form activate after a session ID is entered or an existing session is selected from the Unposted Sessions table.
Status

Select a session status from the drop-down list. The available values are:

  • BP (Batch to Post) - Runs accounting validations against the session transactions

  • BS (Batch to Suspend) - Suspends the account validations and keeps the session as a work-in-progress. A session whose status is BS cannot be posted until its status is updated to BP
Description Enter a session description. The session description can be included in many detail reports such as the general ledger
Session Date Enter a valid date for the session. The system defaults to the current date when a new session is created. However, you can enter any date, such as the date the session was created, the date the session was or will be posted, or the date of the transactions. The session date also serves as the default document date for each transaction in the session
Cancel Click Cancel to clear the form
