Add Transaction

Once this configuration is in place, when entering you enter payments through the following menu options:

Select Option 1 - Accts/Receivable and press Enter.

Select Option 1 - Daily Routines and press Enter.

Select Option 1 - Add Transactions and press Enter.

The system will then ask asks you if you’d like to enter the eligible discount amount at the time you enter a payment that puts the paid amount for the month equal or greater than the amount due, less the eligible discount amount.

In the example below, the customer owes $150.00 and has a $20.00 eligible discount.   At the time the $130.00 payment is entered, the system will ask asks if you’d like to follow with the $20.00 eligible discount to make it easy to apply the discount amount.Image Removed
