Entering an Open Payment to Reapply
In this case, you enter and save a payment in the A/R Quick Payment Application form without selecting transactions against which to apply the payment:
- Open the A/R Quick Payment Application form.
- Select Actions > New.
-
Select the customer number, and enter the check number that matches
the open payment you want to reapply.
The system fills the G/L Reference field with the description Re-Application of Open Payment/Credit.
-
Change the G/L Reference and Description fields, if necessary.
Note: When reapplying open credits, do not change the Receipt Date. The journal entries created will be a debit and credit to the A/R account. When reapplying open payment, and a separate A/R Deposit account is used, change the Receipt Date to current date. The journal entries created will be a debit to the A/R Deposit account and a credit to the A/R account. If the deposit account is the same as the A/R account, then the receipt date should not be changed.
-
Select Actions > Save.
Note: You must perform this step before you can select transactions in the grid at the bottom of the form.
- Select the Selected column of each transaction you want to apply the payment to.
- Click Apply. The system updates the payment with the new invoice number, and journal entries are posted for the reapplication. The journal entries will have a reference of ARPR (payment or credit reapplication).
