Working with Contributions (WCON)
Purpose: You can use the Work with Order Contributions function to review overpayments that have been applied as contributions, to convert a contribution to a refund, or to advance to Order Inquiry.
Overview: An overpayment on an order is eligible to be applied as a contribution if the customer is prepaying for an order (using cash or check), and the Method for Processing Overpayments in Order Entry (D70) system control value is set to permit contribution processing.
If you are processing overpayments as contributions and would like them to post automatically to the general ledger (G/L), you must define a G/L number in the Pay Type file for any prepaid payment types you use. You should also set the Deferred Liability Cash Post Method (C48) system control value to ORDER.
The system writes a record in the Order Contributions file. You can review this information through the Work with Order Contributions function, or through Order Inquiry. Contribution totals are also included in the Daily Cash Receipts Journal.
You can change a contribution to a refund (if you have authority) through Work with Order Contributions or through Order Inquiry.
Once you have applied an overpayment as a contribution, the system does not consider the contribution amount as applied to the order when, for example, it computes a refund amount if the order is canceled or additional payment required for an exchange.
