Payment Modes

Payment Modes represent the different methods by which your Invoices will be paid by your Customers (and by which you will pay your Suppliers). Typical examples are cash, cheque, direct debit and credit card. For many businesses, the difference between such payment methods in terms of the way they are accounted for is minimal, but where appropriate, FirstOffice does allow each Payment Mode to debit a different Account and to be paid into a different bank account.

To open this setting, click [Settings] in the Master Control panel or select 'Settings' from the File menu, and then double-click 'Payment Modes' in the 'Settings' list. Fill in the fields as described below. Then, to save changes and close the window, click the [Save] button. To close the window without saving changes, click the close box.

You can enter as many different Payment Modes as you need, using the grid on the 'Payment Modes' screen. To add a Payment Mode, click in the Code field of the first blank row and enter appropriate text. To remove a Payment Mode, click on the row number on the left of the row and press the Backspace key.

The name of the Payment Mode. This will be shown in the 'Paste Special' list, so it should be descriptive enough to make the selection of the correct Payment Mode easy for all users.
