Payment Journal

The Payment Journal will record all payments (both applied and unapplied) and payment cancellations entered in a specific batch or date range. One way in which the journal can be used is to verify account payments before a batch is applied.

To create the Payment Journal:

  • Select Payment Journal from the Account Payments menu to display the Payment Journal window.

  • Click Add and complete the following fields.

    Field
    Type
    What to enter

    REPORT TYPE

    Indicate whether payments to be included in the journal should be selected based on batch or date range.

    BATCH

    setup

    If you are selecting payments based on batch, enter the batch ID to include in the journal.

    COMPANY

    setup

    Enter the company whose payments should be included in the journal.

    BILL SOURCE

    If you are selecting payments based on date range, enter the billing source whose payments should be included in the journal, or an asterisk (*) for all billing sources.

    If you are selecting payments based on date range, enter the range of dates here. All payments entered on or between these dates (within the company and bill source defined) will be included in the journal.

    Select this checkbox if all banks should be included. Otherwise, specify the bank in the bank field.
