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).

Payments-Miscellaneous

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.

Payments_ProcessPaymentF12

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.

Payments_Transmit_Email

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.

Payments_Transmit_Print

After you complete the Process form changes, press or select the Finish (ALT-F) button.

To cancel processing and return to the Activity form, press or select Back (ALT-B).
