Cash Receipts

Receipt

Field	Description
Date	Enter, or click to select, the receipt date for the transfers or cash receipts. In general, you do this daily. The date that you enter cannot be more than 50 years before the current year, as determined by your system date. If you enter an old date, you receive an error message asking you to check and reenter the date.
Receipt	Enter the receipt number for the transfers or cash receipts. The receipt number is a nine-character numeric field. This number must be unique within each accounting period. Leave this field blank to have the system automatically assign the next available receipt number within the accounting period entered on this screen. The system adds one to the number that is currently stored in the transaction control number table. When you save the transaction, the assigned receipt number displays in the field and cannot be modified. Note: Costpoint assigns the cash receipt number by fiscal year and period. Cash receipt numbers automatically begin at 1 for each new accounting period. You can modify the last system number on the Configure System Assigned Cash Receipt Number screen whenever the validation for duplicate numbers prevents you from saving a new transaction. You can also use the Configure System Assigned Cash Receipt Number screen to maintain the sequential ordering of numbers from one accounting period to the next.
Deposit No	Enter a deposit number of alphanumeric characters. This field is optional. Note: For automatically generated net-zero cash receipts from Post Standard Bills, this field displays REVERSE BILL.
Currency	When you enter a new cash receipt, this field contains your company's functional currency. You can use the Exchange Rates subtask to change the type of currency received. When you review an existing cash receipt, this field displays the currency received for this cash receipt.
Rate Group	This field displays the rate group selected for this cash receipt. Rate groups are maintained on the Manage Exchange Rate Groups screen in Costpoint Multicurrency and contain currency exchange rate information.

Recalculate Lines

Field	Description

Field	Description
Over Budget	This check box is used in Costpoint Budgeting and ETC during the Calculate Over Budget Transactions process. Encumbrance tracking allows you to track expenditures for both posted and unposted transactions on an individual project and compare these expenditures to the budget ceilings. This check box is selected if the transaction amounts are above the budget ceiling. As a result, if someone tries to post cash receipts, the transaction will not be accepted. If this occurs, you can: Increase the budget ceiling. Change the project/account combinations to different charge points. Clear the Over Budget check box and allow the over budget charge to be posted.
Default Account from Account Group	Select this check box to set the account based on the Project Account Abbreviation as the default. This also allows the organization to default from the project.

Cash Receipt Details Table Window

Click on the toolbar to make additions.

Field	Description
Line	This is a non-editable field that is incremented automatically by the system. As you insert lines in this table, the line number is recalculated.
Customer	Enter, or click to select, the customer.
Customer Name	When you select a customer, this field automatically displays the customer name.
Transaction Description	Enter a description (up to 30 characters) for this detail line. This is stored in the General Ledger detail and is printed on detail account and project reports. You can edit this field for both cash receipts and receivable items. Note: For automatically generated net-zero cash receipts from the Post Standard Bills process, this column displays REVERSE BILL for both the debit (reversal invoice) and the credit (original invoice) rows.
Cash Account	This field displays the account where the cash receipt will be posted. This defaults to the Cash Receipts Cash Account entered on the Configure Accounts Receivable Settings screen. You can also click to select a transfer account. The Lookup displays accounts listed on the Manage Transfer Accounts screen.
Invoice	Enter, or click to select, the invoice to which the amount received is applied. If you entered or selected a Customer, the Lookup displays invoices only for the selected customer. When you select an Invoice, Costpoint automatically populates these fields: Invoice Amount, Balance Due, Customer, Customer Name, Org Abbrev, Proj Abbrev, Proj Acct Abbrev, Account, Organization, Project, REF 1, and REF 2. Alternatively, use the Invoice Information subtask to record cash receipts. If you use the Invoice Information subtask, do not enter anything into the Manage Cash Receipts screen; Costpoint automatically enters all required accounting information, including the debit to the default cash account, after you select the invoices that were paid. If the invoice has not been entered or posted to the General Ledger, you can still enter it, but you must also enter the account, organization, project, and customer account (if applicable) so that when the invoice is posted from the billing side, all of the information matches up in the open receivable reports.
Invoice Amount	This non-editable field displays data from the Accounts Receivable History table. It displays the net amount due for this invoice since the last posting. Please note that the information for this field will not be updated until you post the cash receipt to the General Ledger.
Balance Due	This field displays the amount calculated by subtracting the amount applied from the invoice amount due.
Amt Recvd	Enter the amount received for this invoice number. If the customer took a discount, record the amount received on one line and the discount on another line using the same invoice number.
Discount Amt	Enter the discount taken for this invoice. The system credits the receivable account and posts the debit to Discounts Taken Account on the Configure Accounts Receivable Settings screen. When you enter a discount taken, it  does not change the debit and credit totals at the bottom of the screen. This helps you match the total debit to the cash received for the day.
Finance Charge Recvd	Enter the amount of the finance charge that you received for this invoice. Enter this amount as a separate line item. The total of this column plus Amt Recvd plus Unidentified Amount Received (in the Invoice Information subtask) must add up to Amount Received in the header of the Invoice Information subtask. Note: The Account/ Org/Project where you post finance charges is usually different than the receivable account used for A/R.
Check	Enter the number of the check or EFT (up to 40 alphanumeric characters) that the customer used to pay the invoices. This information is stored in the receivable history or travel advance history for future reference. Although this field is optional, we suggest that you enter a check or wire transfer number as a reference for the cash you are posting.
Expense Report ID	Use this optional column to enter an expense report ID. You can enter alphanumeric characters. This expense report ID identifies the travel advance that produced leftover monies that an employee returned to the company. You enter the actual funds into Costpoint using this screen.
Vendor	This non-editable field displays the vendor identification number after you select a vendor and complete the required information in the Travel Advances subtask and click OK.
Advance	This field displays the non-editable 10-character number that you assigned to the advance in the Enter Advance Requests or Maintain Advance History screens in the Travel module of previous Costpoint versions.

Bank Abbrev	This non-editable field displays the bank abbreviation for the account and organization combination on this line. This bank abbreviation name is created on the Manage Company Bank Accounts screen in Costpoint General Ledger and is linked to accounts/organizations through the Configure Accounts Receivable Settings screen or the Manage Transfer Accounts screen.
Account	Enter, or click to select, an account. As you tab to the next column, the system validates that the account number is not a summary account, the account is active, and the account allows charging for the fiscal year, period, and subperiod of this cash receipt. The system displays a warning message if the account fails any of the above validations; you should then correct the account. When you exit the row and save the cash receipt at the same time, the system performs additional validation to determine whether or not the account is valid for the organization. In general, you do not enter accounts for cash receipts that have invoices related to them. Instead, use the Invoice Information subtask, or enter the existing invoice ID on the line and the account automatically loads in the column.
Organization	Enter, or click to select, an organization number. As you tab to the next column, the system validates that the organization is active and that the organization allows charging for the fiscal year, period, and subperiod of this cash receipt. The system displays a warning message if the organization fails any of the above validations; you should then correct the organization. If you use an organization abbreviation, do not enter anything in this field unless you want to erase the organization abbreviation. If you exit the row and save the cash receipt at the same time, the system performs additional validation to determine whether or not the organization is valid for use with the account.
Project	Enter, or click to select, a project number. If you click for a project after you enter an account and organization, it lists only those projects that are valid for the account and organization combination. The program also checks that the fiscal year, period, and subperiod ending date is not later than the project end date. You receive a warning if the project is not included in the period of performance, but you can continue. If you use a project abbreviation, do not enter anything in this field unless you want to erase the project abbreviation.
Ref 1	Enter or click to select a reference number that is assigned to reference number 1. The heading entered for reference 1 on the Configure General Ledger Settings screen in Costpoint General Ledger will display your label for this field. As you move to the next field, the system will validate that this reference number can be charged. If you have entered an invalid reference number or a reference number that is not a reference number 1, you will receive an error message and will need to correct the reference number before continuing. No additional validation will occur if you exit the row or save the cash receipt.
Ref 2	Enter or click to select a reference number that is assigned to reference number 2. The heading entered for reference 2 on the Configure General Ledger Settings screen will display your label for this field. As you move to the next field, the system will validate that this Reference number can be charged. If you have entered an invalid reference number or a reference number that is not a reference number 2, you will receive an error message and will need to correct the reference number before continuing. No additional validation will occur if you exit the row or save the cash receipt.
