Recording a Cash or Check Payment
Step-by-step guide to recording cash or check payments in the invoice system, including selecting payment methods, entering details, and creating a payment record.
First Step:
Ensure an invoice has been created before recording a payment.
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Open the Invoice
Navigate to the invoice that will receive the payment.
Think of the invoice as a “basket” — before you can process a payment, you need to place a receipt in it, like putting an egg in a basket. -
Go to the Payment Tab
In the invoice window, select the Payment tab, then click Create New Payment. -
Select Payment Method
Choose Cash or Check from the available payment methods.
If Cash or Check aren’t listed, go to Business Unit > Payment Methods to add them. -
Enter the Payment Amount
Input the amount received. -
(Optional) Adjust Payment Date
Update the payment date if it differs from the current date, to ensure accurate records. -
(Optional) Add a Payment Note
Include relevant details such as the check number or deposit date for internal reference. -
Save the Payment
Click Add New Payment to save the receipt in the invoice.
At this stage, the payment is only a record. You can delete it if needed, as long as the payment has not been processed.
