This procedure covers payments via check, eft, or other method from a single customer. Receipt Ref Numbers are automatically generated by the system (but can be over-ridden) to group deposits together. Deposit reference numbers can be duplicated in the system.

2. Enter the Customer ID or press the open icon next to the Customer ID field. A popup will appear only displaying the customers with outstanding invoices.
3. Select the customer that you received a payment from. The popup window will close and fill in the list of outstanding invoices on the receipts form.
4. Check the Pay box of the invoices you receive money from. Adjust the discount as necessary.

6. Enter the date of the deposit (default is today).

8. Select the Deposit method from the pull down menu. Payment receipt methods are determined by the payment modules installed. Every payment module has their own set of fields to enter. Fill in any necessary payment information.
9. Either Save or Print the payment. Saving is typically used for payments received where no receipt is necessary whereas printing is typically used for when a receipt is necessary (such as POS). The payment will be posted to the general ledger.
