Applications Field Reference

This section provides a brief description of some of the fields in the Applications window.

Apply Date: The apply date to assign to this receipt application. If the receipt date is later than the current date, the default is the receipt date; otherwise the default is the current date. You cannot change this date after you save this application.

GL Date: The date on which to post this application to your general ledger. The default is the later of either the receipt or invoice GL date. If the default GL date is in a closed or future period, Receivables uses the first date of the most recent open period. Receivables lets you enter multiple applications for a single receipt that have different GL dates. The GL date of this application cannot be earlier than the GL date of the receipt or the GL date of the invoice.

Installment: The installment number of this transaction.

Line: To reference your receipt to a single invoice, debit memo, or chargeback line, enter the line number. If you use the list of values, Receivables displays all open lines for this debit item along with the original amount due for each line. When you specify a line for a receipt application, if you attempt to apply more than the line balance, Receivables automatically reduces the application amount to the line balance. Receivables does not update the remaining amount due for a line when you apply a receipt against it. When you apply a receipt against an invoice and specify one of its lines for the application, Receivables updates the balance due for the entire invoice by the amount of the receipt application.

Reference: The reference number that your customer supplies with this receipt. Receivables displays the reference number for each receipt returned by your query. You can update the reference number for your receipt.

Status: The status of the receipt to review. Following are possible receipt statuses: Applied, Unapplied, Unidentified, Non-Sufficient Funds, Stopped Payment, and Reversal-User Error. Receivables does not let you apply receipts that have a status of Non-Sufficient Funds, Stopped Payment, or Reversal-User Error.

Transaction Code: This field is only used by Public Sector Accounts Receivable.

Transaction Number: The identification number of the transaction to which you want to apply this receipt. You can enter receipt applications against items that have GL dates in future accounting periods. When you use the list of values to select the transaction to which to apply this receipt, Receivables displays one choice for each installment of an invoice. If the profile option AR: Show Billing Number is Yes, Receivables displays two fields. The first field displays the Consolidated Billing Invoice number associated with this transaction (if any); the second field displays the transaction number. See: Consolidated Billing.
