32 Enter Batch Receipts

This chapter contains these topics:

Section 32.1, "Entering Scanned Receipts"
Section 32.2, "Entering Manual Receipts"

If you do not use bank tapes to load receipts from your customers into the Accounts Receivable system, you can scan them or enter them manually.

As you enter receipts, the system removes them from the entry lines to the detail portion of the Batch Entry form. Batch receipts information is stored in the Batch A/R Cash Application table (F0312) until you process the receipts.

What You Should Know About

Topic	Description
Changing scanned receipts	To change scanned receipts, choose Work next to the appropriate receipt. Change the necessary information and re-scan the check.
Deleting scanned receipts	To delete a receipt from the batch, choose the Delete option next to the appropriate receipt.
Exiting the batch	If you exit the batch with an amount remaining that is not equal to zero, the system displays a warning message. This warning does not prevent you from exiting the batch.
Multi-Currency	If you do not specify a currency code, the system uses the domestic currency of the company.

32.1 Entering Scanned Receipts

To speed the entry of receipts, you can use an optical reader or a magnetic scanning device to enter batch receipts. You scan the information on the bottom edge of the customer's payment to automatically enter the bank transit number and bank account number. If your bank has encoded the payment, the batch number is automatically entered when you scan the receipt.

Depending on how you set the processing options, you can scan the receipt and:

Manually enter the amount and the date.
Manually enter only the date. The scanner enters the amount of the payment.

The Batch Receipts Entry form is designed for a magnetic ink character reader (MICR).

Complete the following fields:

G/L Date
Deposit Amount Expected
Amount
Receipt Date

Field	Explanation
Deposit Amount Expected	On batch header forms, this is the total amount that you expect to enter for the batch. This amount must be entered without decimals. For journal entries in the general ledger, this amount is the total of the debits. In other systems, it is the total amount of all documents in the batch. The system keeps track of the amount you enter and displays the difference, if any, when you finish the batch. When you review batches of transactions, this is the difference between the input total and what you actually entered. Example: Input Total 10052 Total Entered 10000 Total Remaining 52 If you are using batch control but you did not enter an input total, this amount appears as a negative number when you review batches. Note: Depending on how your system uses batch review, this field might not apply to batches created by your particular system.
Amount	The amount of the receipt/payment or item to be applied to the open balance of an invoice or voucher pay item. You can apply amounts for partial payments. The total amount applied must equal the payment amount.

Field

Explanation

Deposit Amount Expected

On batch header forms, this is the total amount that you expect to enter for the batch. This amount must be entered without decimals. For journal entries in the general ledger, this amount is the total of the debits. In other systems, it is the total amount of all documents in the batch. The system keeps track of the amount you enter and displays the difference, if any, when you finish the batch. When you review batches of transactions, this is the difference between the input total and what you actually entered.

Example: Input Total 10052 Total Entered 10000

Total Remaining 52

If you are using batch control but you did not enter an input total, this amount appears as a negative number when you review batches.

Note: Depending on how your system uses batch review, this field might not apply to batches created by your particular system.

Amount

The amount of the receipt/payment or item to be applied to the open balance of an invoice or voucher pay item.

You can apply amounts for partial payments. The total amount applied must equal the payment amount.

32.2.1 What You Should Know About

Topic	Description
Changing manual batch receipts	You can change a manual batch receipt before or after you close the batch. To change a receipt, choose the Work option next to the appropriate receipt. Make the necessary changes and exit the batch again.
Processing Detail or Summary records	Do not enter detail and summary records in the same batch. Instead, create a separate batch for each type of record. The mode (detail or summary) in which you enter transactions from the bank tape affects later processing. When you process batch receipts, you must use the corresponding version (detail or summary) to process the batch. For example, if you enter receipts from the tape in summary mode, you must later process them in summary mode. If you enter them in summary mode and then try to run the detail version when processing batch receipts for the same receipts, the system cannot process them.
