Introduction:
This document provides instructions to allow the Add Transactions routine of the Accounts Receivable system to default the eligible discount amount from the last month-end update for a balance-forward account when a payment is entered that brings the sum of the payments for the current month plus eligible discount to meet the total due for the customer.
Procedure:
From the Optifacts main menu:
Type 3 – Editor Utilities and press enter.
Type 6 - Configuration Editor
Type 6 - Edit custom configuration
The Custom Configuration Editor will display
- Add the custom configuration exactly as shown in the following diagram.
- Press Escape to save the data.
- Type "E" to exit the form.
Once this configuration is in place, when entering payments through the following menu options
1 - Accts/Receivable
1 - Daily Routines
1 - Add Transactions
The system will then ask 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 if you’d like to follow with the $20.00 eligible discount to make it easy to apply the discount amount.
