Payment

caution

This documentation is incomplete.

An AR payment is a document created by a business to record payments received from a customer. If the payment is received against an open invoice, you can match the customer invoice. Matching a payment to an invoice reduces customer open balance.

In inoERP, you can create a payment using the payment screen. You can create a payment from an invoice/debit memo. You can also create a payment by manually entering all the required information such as customer, currency, amount, date, etc. Payment consists of

  • Header
  • Line
  • Detail

A payment header contains the customer, business unit, currency-related information.

To view/create/update a payment, navigate to the "payment" search screen from your dashboard/favorite.

Enter the organization/payment details or any other criteria in the search form and click on the search button to view an existing payment.
Click on create a new button to create a new payment; by manually entering all the information, Copy an existing payment to a new payment is always better than manually entering all the data to create a new payment. The application lets you update all the details before confirmation; you can configure which fields are view-only after the confirmation.

If you don't enter organization/customer details, the system will show you all the payments. If your organization has configured to make any field mandatory for search, then you have to enter those fields to search payments.
The application will fetch all the server data and take you to the search result screen. The search result screen looks a bit different on desktop and mobile devices.

To view the search result in a table format, click on the table icon available on the bottom left corner.

To open a specific payment, click on the menu of that record, and click on view/fetch & view.

You can also click on the expand icon against any item on the search result screen to view the payment header details such as payment number, quantities, start date, status, etc.

The system will fetch all the data related to the selected payment. Depending on the device size, the payment details are shown either right to the search result screen or on a separate screen.

Scroll left, right, up, down to view all the details. The payment line and details are shown in a separate tab. The default configuration shows fields in various functional groups such as

  • Finance
  • Entity
  • Reference
  • Data
  • Control
  • Etc

You can configure the application to show which fields should be shown under which group. You can also create new groups as per your business requirements.

Details

The system creates two details for each line :

  • First line to debit cash
  • Second line to credit receivables.

Though you don't need to regularly review/update payment detail lines, It's advisable to review accounts and amounts after setup changes.

Depending upon your configuration, the details of a line are shown either on a separate tab or in the links section of lines.

Click on the Details button below a line to view/update/create details. By default, when saving any line system adds detail with the price and account details. You can add multiple details and change the price/quantity as per your actual requirement.

Click on the expandable button to view the fields of a detail line.

To create a new detail, click on Add New Line button. You can also copy an existing detail line to a new one by clicking on the Copy Line button.

In the data section, enter the detail line number. The system always creates the first line as line number 1, but you can change it. While adding a new detail line, enter a detail line number as its mandatory field. Enter the detail quantity in the quantity field.

The reference groups show various ids for reference only. You don't need to enter any information in this section.
