A-C from the Main Menu

 

For customers who wish to view their financial activity on a cash basis, the Cash Accounting function (A-C from the main menu) will show the following information for any date range selected

 

Setup

Set up a posting code or use an existing posting code to populate the Unapplied Misc Pay Income field in the posting code tab of the store manager file. This field allows you to decide where you want to temporarily store unapplied payments on account.

 

Worth Noting

This is the only screen in FocalPoint that recognizes revenue based on money received. All other reports in FocalPoint recognize revenue when an order is closed, regardless of whether the order was paid when it was closed or not.

If you un-apply payments to invoices and re-apply the payments to other invoices, FocalPoint will not adjust revenue based on the new invoice (6-5-7, 6-5-8 and 6-5-9 from the main menu). You may want to make this functionality unavailable using security settings.

To close an order / reservation that was cancelled, leave all line items on the order with dollar amounts, refund all payments, and void the orders

This information does not export to third party accounting software. Use the "Posting Code Summary" to enter your journal entry into your accounting software.
