Work with Cash Receipts
To streamline the processing of imported transactions, you can automatically create cash receipts and post them from Bank Reconciliation. In addition, you can modify cash receipt records or files created in Bank Reconciliation.
Starting a New Session
When you start a new session, Vantagepoint creates a new cash receipt record or file. A new session is initiated when you do either of the following:
- You navigate away from the bank reconciliation record that you are currently working on, and then return to the same bank reconciliation record.
- You log out of Vantagepoint and then log in again.
Cash Receipts in Batch Transactions
If you set the Use Files to Group Transactions option to Yes in , Vantagepoint creates new cash receipt records and groups them in one transaction file, as long as you do not start a new session. If you start a new session, Vantagepoint creates another cash receipt file.
Vantagepoint automatically assigns a filename to the cash receipt file using this format:
CR [current date mm/dd/yy] [bankcode] Bank Rec
For example, you might see CR04/18/22 Bank1 Bank Rec.
If you complete multiple sessions of creating cash receipts in Bank Reconciliation on the same day, the cash receipt files are given the same filename. In , you can use the transaction date of the cash receipt file (which can be the last day of the accounting period or the last date of the fiscal year) to search for or filter cash receipts.
Control Totals for Cash Receipts File
If you are using files to group cash receipt transactions, Vantagepoint does not provide a warning nor display an error message when the total amount of the cash receipts file posted from Bank Reconciliation does not match the control total. If your organization requires that the total amount of the posted cash receipts file matches the control total, you must do the following in :
- Enter a value in the Control Total field in the Control Totals dialog box.
- Select the cash receipt file in the Cash Receipts grid and then click Post in the header.
