Transactions in FirstOffice - Receipts

When a Customer makes a payment against an Invoice, the transaction is known as a Receipt. In the Nominal Ledger, the raising of a Receipt credits the Debtor Account and debits the Bank or Cash Account. When you enter a Receipt, you will allocate it to the appropriate Invoice(s), and the consequences in the Nominal Ledger will be handled automatically. Normally, a Receipt will generate a Nominal Ledger Transaction like this:

When Nominal Ledger Transactions are generated from Receipts, the Accounts used are selected as follows.

Debtor Control Account
The Debtor Control Account for the Invoice being paid will be transferred to the Receipt. For details of how this is calculated, please refer to the 'Debtor Control Account' section of the Sales Invoices page.

Bank or Cash Account
The Bank or Cash Account posting will be determined from the Payment Modes setting. This is used to store different payment methods, such as cheque, cash, credit card. Each payment method can be attached to a different Account, perhaps reflecting the usage of different bank accounts for each type of payment.
