Payments and Applications

Form ID: (AR302000)

You can use this form to enter incoming payments and apply them against the customer's open items, as well as to create customer refunds and to add charges applied by the bank for payment processing. You can release a payment document on this form as well. If the payment document still has a nonzero balance after it has been applied to customer invoices and memos, you can apply its balance against additional invoices or memos.

For customers that want to pay by credit cards, you can initiate a card payment or manually enter information about a credit card transaction (the transaction number and the authorization number) received by phone from the processing center.

Form Toolbar

The form toolbar includes standard buttons and form-specific buttons and commands. For the list of standard buttons, see Form Toolbar and More Menu. The form-specific commands can be shown as buttons on the form toolbar, as commands on the More menu, or in both places. These commands are listed in the following table in alphabetical order.

Command Description
Approve Approves the selected document and changes its status from Pending Approval to Balanced. This command appears on the menu only if the Approval Workflow feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form if approvals have been activated (and an approval map has been specified) for the Refund document type on the Approval tab of the Accounts Receivable Preferences (AP101000) form.
AR Edit Detailed Navigates to the AR Edit Detailed (AR610500) report.
AR Register Detailed Navigates to the AR Register Detailed (AR622000) report.
Authorize

Initiates credit card processing to secure the payment amount on the card. After the transaction has been properly authorized and confirmed, this amount may be moved to the recipient's account.

This command appears on the More menu if the Integrated Card Processing feature has been enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

Capture

Actually charges the amount from the credit card.

This command appears on the More menu if the Integrated Card Processing feature has been enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

Customer Details Navigates to the Customer Details (AR402000) form.
Hold

Changes the status of the record to On Hold. You click this command when you want to make changes to the record or pause its processing.

This button and command are available if the document has the Balanced status. The status is assigned by default to a new document if the Hold Documents on Entry check box on the Accounts Receivable Preferences form is cleared.

Reassign

Opens the Reassign Approval dialog box, in which you can specify a new approver to reassign the selected record to this approver if the reassignment of approvals is allowed in the related rule of the approval map on the Approval Maps (EP205015) form.

This command appears only if the Approval Workflow feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form and approvals have been activated (and an approval map has been specified) for the Refund document type on the Approval tab of the Accounts Receivable Preferences form.

Record and Capture Preauthorization

Opens the CC Payment with External Authorization dialog box, so you can enter the transaction number with the processing center if the transaction has been authorized externally to try to capture the recorded authorization.

This command appears on the More menu if the Integrated Card Processing feature has been enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

Record Card Payment

Opens the Record Card Payment dialog box, which you can use to specify the transaction number issued by the processing center. To ensure that the transaction matches the payment, the system validates the transaction number before saving it in the system.

If the processing center has the Import Settlement Batches check box selected on the Processing Centers (CA205000) form, the system does the following:

  • Checks whether the transaction has been settled. The system searches for batch transactions with the Missing status and with the same external transaction number and processing center ID.
  • If the batch transaction is found, changes the processing status of the batch transaction to Processed.
  • If the settlement status of the batch transaction is Settled Successfully or Refund Settled Successfully, for the linked payment, selects the Settled and Cleared check boxes and sets the Cleared Date is set to the date specified in the Settlement Time box of the Settlement Batches (CA307000) form.
  • If all transactions have the Processed or Hidden status, changes the status of the settlement batch to Processed.

This command appears on the More menu if the Integrated Card Processing feature has been enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

Refund

Creates a refund for the document. This command and button are available for documents with the Payment, Prepayment, and Credit Memo types, which have available balance.

When you click this button, the system creates a document with the Refund type, populates the boxes of the new document with the settings of the original document, and applies the new refund to the original document.

Refund Card Payment

Initiates a refund for the credit card payment if the time interval allowed for voiding has been exceeded.

This command appears on the More menu if the Integrated Card Processing feature has been enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

Reject Rejects the selected document and changes its status from Pending Approval to Rejected. This command appears on the menu only if the Approval Workflow feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form and approvals have been activated (and an approval map has been specified) for the Refund document type on the Approval tab of the Accounts Receivable Preferences form.
Release Releases the payment, which causes the system to automatically create a batch of appropriate transactions.
Remove Hold

Changes the status of the document from On Hold to Balanced, making it possible to release the document.

This button and command are available only if the document has the On Hold status. For a new document, they appear by default if the Hold Documents on Entry check box on the Accounts Receivable Preferences form is selected or if the Approval Workflow feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form and approvals have been activated (and an approval map has been specified) for the document type on the Approval tab of the Accounts Receivable Preferences form.

Validate Card Payment

Synchronizes the payment with its processing center transactions.

If you click this command, the system checks for any transactions that were created, and does the following:

  • If the transaction status in the system differs from the status in the processing center, updates the transaction status in the system.
  • If no response was received from the processing center (the transaction has the Open status in the Proc. Status column on the Card Processing tab), repairs the transaction by completing its processing. If such a transaction does not exist in the processing center, the system closes the transaction with an error.

If the Save Card check box is selected for the payment and the transaction is linked to a payment profile in the processing center, this action creates a customer payment method in the system.

If the processing center has the Import Settlement Batches check box selected on the Processing Centers form, the system does the following:

  • Checks whether the transaction has been settled. The system searches for batch transactions with the Missing status and with the same external transaction number and processing center ID.
  • If the batch transaction is found, sets the processing status of the batch transaction to Processed.
  • If the settlement status of the batch transaction is Settled Successfully or Refund Settled Successfully, for the linked payment, selects the Settled and Cleared check boxes and sets the Cleared Date to the date specified in the Settlement Time box on the Settlement Batches form.
  • If all transactions have the Processed or Hidden status, the status of the settlement batch is changed to Processed.

This command appears on the More menu if the Integrated Card Processing feature has been enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

Void Voids or cancels the payment.
Void Card Payment

Voids the credit card transactions if the time interval allowed for voiding has not been exceeded.

This command appears on the More menu if the Integrated Card Processing feature has been enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

Reassign Approval Dialog Box

In this dialog box, you can specify the new approver to whom you want to reassign the selected record or records.

ElementDescription
New ApproverThe name of the employee to whom you want to reassign the selected record or records.
Ignore Approver's Delegations

A check box that indicates (if selected) that the system will assign the selected records to the specified new approver but not to their delegate, even if the new approver is unavailable and has a delegation set up for the current date.

If the check box is cleared and if the new approver is not available and has a delegation set up for the current date, the system will reassign the selected records to the delegate if the delegate is available. If the delegate is unavailable, the system will reassign the requests to the delegate of the delegate. The system will continue the search in this way until it assigns an approver that has no active delegations set up for the current date or it detects a loop in the chain of delegations (in which case you will have to specify a different approver).

This dialog box has the following buttons.
ReassignCloses the dialog box and reassigns the selected record or records to the specified new approver if the reassignment of approvals is allowed in the related rule of the approval map on the Approval Maps (EP205015) form.
CancelCloses the dialog box and cancels the reassignment of the selected record or records to a new approver.

Summary Area

In this area, you can enter the settings of a new payment or select an existing document to view its settings or edit it.

Element Description
Type

The type of the document.

The type can be one of the following:

  • Payment: A document recording a payment received from the customer. One payment may be applied to multiple invoices, debit memos, and overdue charges.
  • Credit Memo: A document crediting the customer, which may be used as a base for a refund or applied against invoices and debit memos.
  • Prepayment: A document recording a customer prepayment. One prepayment may be applied to any number of invoices, debit memos, and overdue charges.
  • Refund: A payment, designed to reimburse the customer, that can be applied to credit memos, payments, and prepayments
  • Voided Refund: A document recording a refund that was voided.
  • Voided Payment: A payment that was voided.
  • Balance WO: A document that writes off a customer's small balance that will not be paid. This document is created and released automatically by the system when you run the write off process on the Write Off Balances and Credits (AR505000) form for the Balance WO document type. You cannot create this document manually.
Reference Nbr.

The unique identifier of the payment. This number is automatically generated by the system for a new payment document, based on the numbering sequence specified on the Accounts Receivable Preferences (AR101000) form.

Note: If the Manual Numbering check box is selected for the specified numbering sequence on the Numbering Sequences (CS201010), the system validates each new reference number you enter in order to prevent the creation of payments and prepayments with the same reference number.
Status

The status of the AR payment document, which is assigned by the system.

The status can be one of the following:

  • On Hold: You can edit the document but cannot release it.

    When a new document is created on the current form, it is assigned the On Hold status if the Hold Documents on Entry check box is selected on the Accounts Receivable Preferences (AR101000) form or if approvals have been activated (and an approval map has been specified) for the document type on the Approval tab of the same form. If the Hold Documents on Entry check box is cleared, a new document is assigned the Balanced or Pending Processing status.

    If you click the Remove Hold button on the form toolbar or the equivalent action when you finish editing the document, the document’s status changes to Balanced, Pending Approval, or Pending Processing.

  • Pending Approval: The document needs to be approved by the responsible approvers, which are assigned according to the active approval map specified on the Approval tab of the Accounts Receivable Preferences form for documents of the type.

    This status can be assigned to a document of the Refund type if the Approval Workflow feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form and if approvals have been activated (and an approval map has been specified) for the Refund document type on the Approval tab of the Accounts Receivable Preferences form.

  • Rejected: The document has been rejected by at least one assigned approver. You can delete a document with this status, or you can click the Hold button or action, edit the document, and again submit it for approval.

    This status can be assigned to a document of the Refund type if the Approval Workflow feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form and if approvals have been activated (and an approval map has been specified) for the Refund document type on the Approval tab of the Accounts Receivable Preferences form.

  • Pending Processing: The document is ready for credit card operations or for synchronization with the credit card processing center. A document of the Payment, Prepayment, Voided Payment, Refund, or Voided Refund type can have this status. The system assigns the Pending Processing status to the document based on its type as follows:
    • Payment or Prepayment type: The system assigns the Pending Processing status to a new payment or prepayment if a credit card payment method is selected for it and the Hold Documents on Entry check box is cleared on the Accounts Receivable Preferences form, or after you click Remove Hold on the form toolbar. The document maintains the Pending Processing status until the credit card payment is captured, at which point the system changes the document’s status to Balanced.
    • Voided Payment type: The system assigns the Pending Processing status to a document if it was created when a payment made with a credit card was voided. The document maintains this status until the credit card transaction associated with the original payment or prepayment is voided, at which point the system changes the document’s status to Closed.
    • Refund type: The system assigns the Pending Processing status to a new refund if it is not on hold (that is, the Hold Documents on Entry check box is cleared on the Accounts Receivable Preferences form), does not require approval, and has a credit card payment method selected, or after you click Remove Hold on the form toolbar. The document maintains this status until the original credit card payment is refunded, at which point the system changes the document’s status to Balanced.

    Documents with the Pending Processing status do not prevent financial periods from being closed and do not appear on the Unposted AR Documents report, even if they have active incomplete transactions. However, financial periods that have documents with the Pending Processing status cannot be locked.

    If the document has the Pending Processing status, you can perform particular actions on it, depending on whether a credit card transaction is linked to the document (and what the state of this credit card transaction is, if applicable):

    • If no credit card transactions, active or inactive, are linked to the document, you can edit the document details, delete the document, initiate new credit card transactions, record external transactions, and synchronize the processing status and payment status with the processing center.
    • If one active credit card transaction is linked to the document and it has not been completed, you can sync the processing status and payment status with the processing center, and perform operations (capturing authorized payments and voiding existing transactions) on existing credit card transactions.
    • If no active credit card transactions are linked to the document, you can edit the document details, initiate new credit card transactions, record external transactions, and synchronize the processing status and payment status with the processing center.
    • If you are waiting for external processing, you can sync the processing status and payment status with the processing center.
  • Balanced: The document can be released or put back on hold.
  • Open: The document has been released, but the application amount is less than the payment amount.
  • Reserved: The document has been released and then put on hold. That is, a user clicked the Hold button on the form toolbar (or the equivalent action) for the document when it had the Open status, and the system changed the document’s status from Open to Reserved. Reserved payments cannot be applied to outstanding documents and are excluded from the auto-application process. You can click Remove Hold to release the payment from the Reserved status.
  • Closed: The document has been released and closed. The application amount is equal to the payment amount.
  • Voided: The document has been voided.
Application Date

The date when a payment is applied to a document (invoice or memo). The box displays the current business date for unapplied or partially applied payments and the latest application date for the closed payment, but you can override this date.

You can enter only a date that corresponds to a financial period that has been generated on the Master Financial Calendar (GL201000) form. If the date that you enter belongs to a financial period that has not yet been generated in the system—for example, for a date in the distant future or past—the system will display an error message, and you will not be able to save the document.

You can apply a payment to a number of documents on different application dates. Also, you can use the AR Balance by Customer (AR632500) report to view application dates of the documents.

Application Period

The financial period to which the payment should be applied, which the system generally fills in based on the date.

For a voided payment, if the Default Voided Date to Document Date check box is selected on the Payment Methods (CA204000) form for the payment method and the application period is inactive, the system fills in this box with the payment period. If this check box is cleared and the application period is inactive, the system fills in this box with the next active period based on the date.

Payment Ref.

A secondary payment reference identifier, which can be a system-generated number, an external reference number entered manually (such as a bank check number), or an external reference number entered automatically (such as a credit card transaction number).

This box is not available for credit memos.

Customer

The customer who issued the payment.

If the Customer and Vendor Visibility Restriction feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, the list of customers may be limited based on the branch specified for the document. A customer is available for selection if the Restrict Visibility To box on the Financial tab of the Customers (AR303000) form is empty or contains the branch specified in this document (or the company or company group that contains the branch specified in this document).

Location

The customer location associated with the sale. Once the customer is selected, this box displays the customer's default location ID, which can be changed.

This element appears only if the Business Account Locations feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

Payment Method

The customer's default payment method; this box is not available for credit memos.

If a not-overridden credit card payment method (with the Override check box cleared on the Payment Methods tab of the Customers (AR303000) form) has been set up as the default one for the customer, this payment method is displayed in this box. The payment method's default processing center is displayed in the Proc. Center ID box, and the New Card check box is selected.

If the selected payment method is a card payment method with the Integrated Processing check box cleared on the Settings for Use in AR tab of the Payment Methods form, the Proc. Center ID box, New Card check box, and Save Card check box do not appear on the form.

Use Orig. Transaction for Refund

A check box that indicates (if selected) that the system should process a refund without linking it to the original card transaction.

This check box is selected by default. It is displayed for documents of the Refund type if the card-based payment method selected in the Payment Method box is associated with a processing center for which the Allow Unlinked Refunds check box is selected on the Processing Centers (CA205000) form.

When you clear this check box, instead of the Proc. Center ID box. the system displays the Card/Account Nbr. box, in which you can select a card to which the refunded amount should be returned.

This check box appears on the form if the Integrated Card Processing feature has been enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

Orig. Transaction

The reference number of the original transaction in the processing center.

This box appears on the form if the Refund document type has been selected in the Type box.

By default, the box is empty; if you manually enter a value in this box, the Proc. Center ID box becomes available and the refund transaction is processed by the processing center selected in the Proc. Center ID box.

If a value is selected automatically in the Orig. Transaction box and a credit card has been saved for the original transaction, the Card/Account Nbr. box is shown instead of the Proc. Center ID box and is filled in with the card or account number of the selected transaction. If no credit card has been saved for the original transaction, the Proc. Center ID box specifies the processing center of the selected transaction.

This box appears on the form if the Integrated Card Processing feature has been enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

Proc. Center ID

The processing center that is associated with the selected payment method and used for credit card payments.

The default processing center that the system inserts is the processing center for which the selected payment method is specified on the Payment Methods tab of the Processing Centers (CA205000) form with the Default check box selected.

This box appears on the form if the Integrated Card Processing feature has been enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form and a payment method configured for credit card payments (that is, Credit Card is selected in the Means of Payment box on the Payment Methods (CA204000) form) is selected in the Payment Method box and the New Card check box is selected.

New Card

A check box that indicates (if selected) that when processing a payment for the selected payment method, the system will accept new credit card data when initiating the payment. If this check box is selected, the Save Card check box becomes available for selection.

This check box appears on the form if the Integrated Card Processing feature has been enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form and a payment method configured for credit card payments (that is, Credit Card is selected in the Means of Payment box on the Payment Methods form) is selected in the Payment Method box.

When a new credit card transaction is initiated, this check box disappears from the form and the Processing Status box appears in its place.

Save Card

A check box that indicates (if selected) that a new customer's credit card will be created in the system. By default, this check box is cleared.

The check box appears on the form for documents with the Payment and Prepayment types if the following conditions are met:

Documents to Apply Tab

This tab includes the list (in a tabular format) of the customer's open documents to which the incoming payment is to be applied. Click Load Documents on the table toolbar to specify a date range, a range of reference numbers, or both, and the system adds to the list the customer's documents that meet the criteria. If there are open credit memos matching the specified criteria, they appear at the top of the list.

Table 1. Table Toolbar

The table toolbar includes standard buttons and buttons that are specific to this table. For the list of standard buttons, see Table Toolbar. The table-specific buttons are listed below.

Button Description
Load Documents

Opens the Load Options dialog box, where you can specify criteria for loading or reloading the customer's open accounts receivable documents.

If the Payment Application by Line feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, the lines of documents configured to be paid by line are added to the table along with the documents configured to be paid on the document level.

When the system loads documents for applications, positive credit memo lines and negative invoice lines are loaded and processed first because they increase the payment's available balance.

Auto Apply

Applies the payment amount to the loaded documents listed on the Documents to Apply tab, starting with the first row displayed in the table (even if the rows are sorted or filtered), until the available balance to be applied (in the Available Balance box of the Summary area) becomes zero. This button is available if the value in the Payment Amount box of the Summary area is nonzero.

If you change the Payment Amount and then click Auto Apply, one of the following happens, depending on the new available balance:

  • If the new available balance of the payment is positive (that is, if you have increased the payment amount), it will be applied to each listed document for which the paid amount (the amount in the Amount Paid column for the document in the row) is still less than the balance of the document (the amount in the Balance column); the rows with documents with the document amount paid in full (that is, the rows in which the amount in the Balance column is zero) are not recalculated.
  • If the new available balance of the payment is negative (that is, if you have reduced the payment amount), the payment amount will be reapplied to the loaded rows.
Table 2. Table Columns

  • If the document in the row has the On Hold or Balanced status, the value in the Amount Paid column becomes equal to the value in the Balance column (that is, the balance of this listed document).
  • If the document in the row has the Open or Reserved status, the value in the Amount Paid column becomes equal to either the value in the Balance column (that is, the balance of this listed document) or the current value of the Available Balance box in the Summary area (that is, the available balance of the payment, if it is less than the balance of this listed document). If the available balance of the payment becomes negative, a warning is shown.

When you clear this check box for a row, the value in the Amount Paid column becomes zero.

The system selects this check box automatically if you change the amount in the Amount Paid column to a nonzero value.
