Process Payments Manually

When your customers have made payments to your electronic bank account, you must apply each amount paid to the related open sales document and then post the payment to update the customer, general ledger, and bank ledger entries.

Note

You can perform the same tasks, including vendor payments, in the General Journal window using functions for bank statement import and automatic application. For more information, see Process Payments Automatically.

The Payment Registration window is designed to support you in tasks involved in balancing internal accounts by using actual cash figures to make sure that payments are collected efficiently from customers. This payment processing tool enables you to quickly verify and post individual or lump payments, initiate finance charges for overdue payments, process discounted payments, and find specific open documents for which payment is made.

The following table describes a sequence of tasks, with links to the topics that describe them. These tasks are listed in the order in which they are generally performed.
