Introduction

Customer's payments and prepayments received can be recorded and managed in the payment in window. Same way G/L item payments do not related to orders/invoices can also be managed in this window.

Customer's payments can be received against:

  • Sales Orders, in effect this is a prepayment.
    Later on, when an invoice is created from the order that already has a payment received against it, the invoice automatically inherits the payment received against the order.
  • Sales Invoices, in effect this is an invoice payment received from a customer.
    Payments prior to the accounting date of the invoice are also considered a prepayment.
    There is a How To article which describes how to manage prepaid invoices (prepayments) in receivables.
  • and a G/L Items, in effect this is a payment of any other revenue received from a customer, for instance a fine.
    This type of payments can be created in this window when selecting the G/L Item "Transaction Type" or can be automatically populated as a payment in this window if created in a G/L Journal.
    No matter the way they are created, both cases are managed same way depending on the Payment Method used.

Openbravo allows to register payments received from a single customer or to register payments received from several customer at the same time..

At the end of the process a "Payment In" transaction will imply the creation of a "Deposit" transaction in the corresponding Financial Account.
The creation of the deposit transaction in the financial account can be done:

  • manually by using the Add Transaction process of the financial account.
  • or automatically if the payment method used is configured to do so, that implies the selection of the check-box "Automatic Deposit".

The payment in window allows to record and manage customer's payments received against different types of documents issued by the organization such as orders and invoices. This window also allows to manage the customer's payments already recorded in the sales invoice window same way as the G/L item payments received in a G/L Journal.
