Debtor Cash Receipts Entry - Fees tab

Use the Fees tab to:

  • allocate payment to outstanding transactions
  • enter the debtor in the Debtor field if the drawer you entered in the Payment Detail tab is not the same as the debtor
  • select multiple debtors, if the drawer is paying accounts for several debtors.

The amount received (shown in the Payment Summary area) can be used to pay off one or more accounts from the list of outstanding transactions. See Entering payments against individual transactions.
Note: Do not use the Fees tab if you are allocating a receipt to an enrolment deposit code or a donation fund. Instead use the Debtor Cash Receipts Entry - G/L Allocations tab.

Amount to allocate to oldest balance

To allocate some or all of the receipt to the oldest account in the list, enter the amount in the Amount to allocate to oldest balance field and click .
Note: This amount will default to the total amount owing on the selected account. The system does not automatically ask for more than the debtor owes. For example, if you receive $1000 from the debtor but they only owe $600 then the payment is entered as $600.
