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:

  1. Open the A/R Quick Payment Application form.
  2. Select Actions > New.
  3. 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.

  4. 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.
  5. Select Actions > Save.
    Note:  You must perform this step before you can select transactions in the grid at the bottom of the form.
  6. Select the Selected column of each transaction you want to apply the payment to.
  7. 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).
