Payments > Miscellaneous

You use the Miscellaneous Payment option to track any non-sale type payment your company accepts.

In this box, select a general ledger account, accept or enter a new description, and enter the amount received.

Then choose Process (F12).

If your business does not implement detailed mapping, the application uses the Miscellaneous Pay-ins mapping from the Point of Sale system journal category Payments (sequence #43). You can add additional ledger selections from the General Ledger area's Database menu > Detailed Mapping option. Choose the category named POS Misc Payment Type.

Process (F12) Options

The Payment Process form is fairly simple. Use these three tabs as follows:

Payment (Alt-M)

Use the Payment (ALT-M) tab to specify the payment method for the payment being received. Depending upon the method(s) chosen, the information required changes.

Use the Reset button to clear all existing payment references to start over.

Transmit (Alt-T)

You can use the Transmit (ALT-T) tab to email and/or fax a copy of the payment document. For Miscellaneous Payments, enter the email and fax information manually, since such payments are not associated with a particular customer. The "End Of Day" radio button is not available for these payments. All payment emails must be sent immediately.

Both faxing and email capability is dependent upon outside factors. Faxing is managed by Microsoft Fax Server and a fax modem or phone line and emailing requires a SMTP server or provider as well as configuration. The application is not responsible for the actual transmission of either faxes or emails.

Print (Alt-P)

The Print (ALT-P) tab allows you to select printer options for saving as a file instead of, or in addition to, printing. For information about the PS Payments document created for Miscellaneous Payments, click here.
