Create a Receipt Batch

Qualifiers

  • You have received payment from a client or clients and you want to record the receipts

Create a New Batch

  1. Navigate to Fleet / Receivables / Receipts

  2. Go to the Receipts / Search tab or the Receipts / Allocate tab

  3. Click on [New Batch]. This navigates you to Receipts / Allocate / Batch

  4. Banking Date - enter or pick the banking date

  5. Bank Account - this will default in. If you have multiple bank accounts, choose the relevant Bank Account for the batch you are creating

  6. Target - enter the expected total of your receipts

  7. Collation - used if you want to create an aba file for direct debit use. Choose client or contract grouping

Note: You can create one receipt batch for a whole day's banking, or you can create more receipt batches to suit your processes

Enter an Item

  1. Navigate to Receipts / Allocate / Item

  2. Receipt Type - choose a description that suits. It can be left blank

  3. Bank Ref - choose a description that suits. It can be left blank

  4. Target - enter the expected total of this item

  5. Client - enter or [lookup] a Client if you are making allocations for a Client

  6. Move to the Summary tab on the right hand side of the screen to view the information you are looking for

  7. Click on Auto-Allocate button to automatically receipt the presented invoice rows in descending order. Once a row cannot be fully allocated, the checking will stop. Because the columns are dynamically sortable, you can sort the records into the row order you want for an automatic allocation

  8. Click on Save to save the receipt item

  9. You can't navigate away from the item until you have saved or cancelled it

Enter Another Item

To enter another item, press the [New Item] button at the bottom left corner and repeat the required steps.

Post Your Receipt Batch

  1. Click Check to check when you have finished your receipt batch. This will verify that each item has a 0.00 variance and that the batch as a whole has a 0.00 variance

  2. When the check is confirmed, the Post button becomes available

  3. Click Post to post the receipt batch

Warning: Pending and posted batches will be displayed in the Driver Reports, but only posted batches will be included in the Funds Check. We recommend always posting batches that you have reconciled

Recommendations

  • If you are receipting packaged vehicles you can enter the Driver, Reg No, or Contract ID value first - this will populate the relevant Client details

  • If a contract has had a registration change, entering the contract id will restrict the detail results to the current Reg No only. Enter the old Reg No at the time of invoicing instead of the contract id in this case as the then current Reg No is stored with the invoice when it is created. Entering the Reg No will display the invoices relevant

When Editing an Item, Put Money On Account

If you have received money and you don't have an invoice to match the money too, you can use the On Account button to receipt this money to a client or contract ahead of the required invoice being created.

On Account receipts can be allocated to a client or a contract record. It can be for the full amount that was deposited, or for just the part that doesn't have a matching invoice. We recommend that you do on account allocations after you have allocated everything else that is known to the client or the contract.

To Receipt to a Client Record, You Must Be

  • In the Receipts / Allocate Summary tab

  • "Client" is populated (to identify the client that the On Account will go to)

At This Point the On Account Button is Now Available for Both Situations

Receipts ABA

When a batch is displayed on the Allocate tab, you can print a csv file of the transactions or produce an ABA file to create a client direct debit file for importing into your banking software. The ABA file is available for "Pending" and "Posted" batches.

For the ABA file to be created successfully:

  • Each client within the batch will need to have their banking details populated in the Client / Contract Defaults tab. i.e. "BSB Number", "Bank Account Number" need to be populated and "Payment Method" set to Direct Debit

  • The batch must have a zero variance

  • A "Collation" method must be selected

  • Batches that result in negative lines in the ABA file will not output (you will get a warning message)

Batch Creation

You can create direct debit batches manually, or a scheduler process can be developed to automate the creation of Direct Debit Receipt Batches.

Scheduling Your Direct Debits

Contact your Account Manager if you want to get a scheduler process set up to automate batch creation. This work is chargeable.

The expected process when direct debits are scheduled is this:

Report Created

  • User is emailed

  • Report contains summary of clients and records that will be in the Direct Debit Batch

Script Creates Direct Debit Batch Using the Following Criteria

  • Clients / Contract Defaults "Payment Method" is 'Direct Debit'

  • Clients / Contract Defaults BSB and Account Number are populated

  • Contracts have billing records that are unpaid (choose if only unpaid or also partly paid records are selected)

  • Contracts have billing dates or terms that meet the selection rules

The Direct Debit Batch Will Contain the Following Details

  • Banking Date is added as today

  • Bank Account - the specified account is added

  • Target - as calculated for the batch

  • Variance - is 0

  • Collation is added (as specified)

  • Status is set as 'Pending'

  • Item No - a separate item is created for each client in the selection

  • Receipt Type is set as Direct Debit

  • Client - each client code is stored

The User Has Received an Email Alert and Must Then

  • Review the pending batch

  • Print the ABA file

  • Load the ABA file into banking software for processing

When the Bank Statement is Received

  • The batch can be posted

  • If any reversals occur, they will also need to be processed, or the original batch edited to net off the reversal before posting
