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

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
