Examples: Using A/R Quick Payment Application

Scenario #1

You enter a payment for $150, and select three $50 invoices in the grid against which to apply the payment.

The grid shows the these entries:

Customer    Type    Invoice    Site    Order    Delivery Order    Chk/Ref    Invoice Date    Due Date    Amt To Apply    Discount   
1 I 101 01 C000001     5/15/2016 6/15/2016 50.00 0.00
1 I 150 01 C000007     6/15/2016 7/15/2016 50.00 0.00
1 I 156 01 C000010     6/22/2016 7/22/2016 50.00 0.00

When you select Apply, three distribution records are created for each one of these invoices.

Scenario #2

You enter a payment, and do not select any transactions in the grid.

You enter a payment for $100 on the A/R Quick Payment Application form with a payment date of 6/15/2016, and save it. Then, you select Apply. A payment distribution is created as an Open credit for $100.

The grid shows these entries:

Customer    Type    Invoice    Site    Order    Delivery Order    Chk/Ref    Invoice Date    Due Date    Amt To Apply    Discount   
1 P Open 01       6/15/2016 6/15/2016 50.00 0.00

Scenario #3

You enter a payment, select an invoice, and some payment amount is left to be applied.

You enter a payment for $100 on the A/R Quick Payment Application form, and save it. Then you select an invoice for $60, and select Apply. Two payment distributions are created, one as an invoice for $60, and the other as an open credit for $40. Both the invoice and the open credit display as selected in the grid.

Customer    Type    Invoice    Site    Order    Delivery Order    Chk/Ref    Invoice Date    Due Date    Amt To Apply    Discount   
1 C Open 01       6/15/2016 6/15/2016 40.00 0.00
1 I 102 01 C000001     5/15/2016 6/15/2016 60.00 0.00

Scenario #4

You enter a payment for $0, and select an invoice and an open credit.

Customer    Type    Invoice    Site    Order    Delivery Order    Chk/Ref    Invoice Date    Due Date    Amt To Apply    Discount   
1 C Open 01 C000001     6/15/2016 6/15/2016 50.00 0.00
1 I 101 01 C000001     5/15/2016 6/15/2016 50.00 0.00

The open credit is automatically when you select Apply. The invoice number in the A/R transaction table (artran) now shows 101. The A/R account in the original artran record for the open credit is 11000. The A/R account in the parameters is 11000. These journal entries are created:

         
29 * 6/15/2016 11000   50.00 ARPR 1
  Accounts Receivable 50.00 USD 1.000
30 * 6/15/2016 11000     50.00 ARPR 1
  Accounts Receivable   50.00 USD 1.000

Scenario #5

You enter a payment for $50, and select multiple invoices, open payments, and credits: two invoices, 101 with a due date of 6/15/2016 and 150 with a due date of 7/15/2016 for $50 each; and the open credit has a due date of 6/15/2016. The payment is for $50 on 7/20/2016.

When you select Apply, the open credit of $50 is applied to invoice 101 and then posted. A/R Posted Transactions show the credit with an invoice number of 101. The new payment of $50 is applied to invoice 150, and a payment distribution is created.

The grid shows these entries:

Customer    Type    Invoice    Site    Order    Delivery Order    Chk/Ref    Invoice Date    Due Date    Amt To Apply    Discount   
1 I 150 01 C000007     6/15/2016 7/15/2016 50.00 0.00

Scenario #6

You enter a payment, and select a Finance Charge transaction.

Three finance charges exist in posted transactions: one for $20 with a due date of 5/15/2016, one for $20 with a due date of 6/15/2016, and one for $20 with a due date of 7/15/2016.

You enter a payment for $40. The finance charges display in the grid as follows:

Customer    Type    Invoice    Site    Order    Delivery Order    Chk/Ref    Invoice Date    Due Date    Amt To Apply    Discount   
1 F Fin chg 01       05/15/02 05/15/02 60.00 0.00

You must update the Amt To Apply (in the grid) to $40.00. When you select Apply, a distribution is created for the finance charge. Upon posting the payment, the amount is automatically applied to the oldest finance charges.

Scenario #7

Reapplication of an Open payment/Open credit.

You enter an open payment/open credit to reapply for $1000. The grid shows an invoice selected for $1000. When you select Apply, a payment distribution is created. The A/R account in the original A/R transaction (artran) record for the open credit is 11000, and the A/R account in the original record for the open payment is 26000 (Deposit account). The open credit journal entries are the same as in scenario #4 above. When the open payment is applied, payment application occurs within the due date, so a discount for $50 is automatically created by the system in the Discount column.

When the payments are posted, the open payment entries are:

Sequence (Trans) Date Account Description Account Amount (Foreign) Amount (Domestic) Reference Currency Code Exchange Rate
55 1/18/2016 AR Deposit 26000 1,000.00 1,000.00 APPR 656 USD 1.000
56 1/18/2016 Sales Discount 40450 50.00 50.00 APPR 656 USD 1.000
57 1/18/2016 Accounts Receivable 11000 1,050.00 1,050.00 ARPR 656 USD 1.000

Scenario #8

Reapply an Open payment to an invoice from another site.

An invoice is selected from Site 2. The open payment was entered in Site 1, and is being applied in Site 1. When you select Apply, you are prompted to transfer cash. If you select Yes, journal entries in Site 2 transfer the amount from Accounts Receivable to cash. In Site 1, the amount is transferred from the deposit account to cash. These entries are displayed:

Site 2        
32 * 1/17/2016 11000 3000   100.00 ARPR 25
  Accounts Receivable   100.00 USD 1.000
33 * 1/17/2016 10000   100.00 ARPR 25
  Cash 100.00 USD 1.000
Site 1        
43 * 1/17/2016 26000   100.00 ARPR 25
  AR Deposit 100.00 USD 1.000
44 * 1/17/2016 10000     100.00 ARPR 25
  Cash   100.00 USD 1.000

If transfer cash is not selected, the A/R Inter-Site Liability and Asset accounts are used instead of Cash. The entries are:

Site 2        
35 * 1/17/2016 11000 3000   100.00 ARPR 23
  Accounts Receivable   100.00 USD 1.000
36 * 1/17/2016 49020 49020 100.00 ARPR 23
  A/R Inter-Site Asset 100.00 USD 1.000
Site 1        
47 * 1/17/2016 26000   100.00 ARPR 23
  AR Deposit 100.00 USD 1.000
48 * 1/17/2016 49000     100.00 ARPR 23
  A/R Inter-Site Liability   100.00 USD 1.000

Scenario #9

Reapply an open payment to an invoice with a different exchange rate. An open payment for $310 Canadian Dollars (CND) at an exchange rate of 1.55 is applied to an invoice with an exchange rate of 1.60. These entries happen in the journal when the Apply button is selected:

66 * 1/14/2016 26000   200.00 ARPR 5651
  AR Deposit 310.00 US$ 1.550
67 * 1/14/2016 40200 3000   7.03 ARX  
  Currency Gains   10.90 CND 1.550
68 * 1/14/2016 11000   7.03 ARX  
  Accounts Receivable 10.90 CND 1.550
69 * 1/14/2016 11000     200.00 ARPR 5651
  Accounts Receivable   310.00 CND 1.550

Scenario #10

You enter a payment for $95. You also enter a non-A/R cash distribution for $5.00 in A/R Payment Distributions. When you access the A/R Quick Payment Application form, these transactions display:

Customer    Type    Invoice    Site    Order    Delivery Order    Chk/Ref    Invoice Date    Due Date    Amt To Apply    Discount   
1 F Fin chg 01     -1 5/15/2016 5/15/2016 100.00 0.00
  Non A/R Non A/R 01       5/15/2016     5.00
  Open Credit Open 01     -1 5/15/2016   20.00 0.00
1 I 100 01       5/15/2016 6/15/2016 10.00 0.00

When you select Apply, the $20 open credit is applied to the finance charge. It is automatically posted and shows on the A/R Posted Transactions form.

The $95.00 payment is then applied. Distributions for an $80 finance charge, $5.00 non-A/R cash, and $10.00 invoice are then created. The non-A/R cash already exists in the distributions.
