Accounts Receivable - Data Entry

Money Receipt

O



  • In the first section of the menu are the two main Data Entry screens; Money Receipt is one of them.

    • Transaction Types

      Money Receipt (MR) is used when no client details are available for entry into the transaction. Selection of the relevant bank account will determine what type of payment is received. For example, cheque, credit card or cash accounts which are set up in the General Ledger.

    • Error Checking

      SapphireOne performs a considerable amount of error checking before you are allowed to save the transaction. This may be seen on the main toolbar when the green tick is displayed allowing the saving of the current transaction.

    Data Entry

    Client Invoice

    O

    By entering a valid Client ID any applicable client details that are in the client’s master file are automatically entered into the invoice. The transactions area has the client details recorded and the remainder of the data entry procedure is the same as the Cash Transaction screen.


    • Transaction Types

      Client Invoice (CI) is for the entry of invoices to the General Ledger.

    • Prompt Payment Discounts

      This area displays the prompt payment discount terms as set up for this client in his master file if payment is made early.

    Data Entry

    Client Credit Memo

    O

    SapphireOne Accounts Receivable clients credit memo mac

    Client Credit Memo allows the entry of credits. For example, when goods are returned by the client. A Client ID is needed for the entry of details and it is very similar to the previous two functions – a Cash Receipt and a Client Invoice. This function also has additional pages that are identical to those in Client Invoice, Custom, Action and Documents.


    • Transaction Types

      Credit Memo (CC) allows for the generation of credits. For example, return of faulty or incorrect goods supplied.

    • Allocation

      Once the Credit Memo has been entered the green tick on the main tool bar will be displayed so that the user may select it and when selected the system will display the Allocation function enabling the user to immediately allocate the credit to another invoice.

    Data Entry

    Client Journal

    O

    The Client Journal entry procedure is very similar to a Cash Receipt or Client Invoice. If there is a negative number, then insert the $ and bracket it to indicate a negative amount. For example: ($500.00).


    • Transaction Types

      Client Journal (CJ) is used when client balances need adjustment. For example, an error has been made or a credit not been applied correctly.

    • Custom Page

      The custom page for a Client Journal is identical to the custom page when the Cash Receipt function is executed.

    Data Entry

    Client Receipt

    O

    SapphireOne Accounts Receivable clients receipt

    Data entry for this function is very similar to the Cash Receipt screen but we now have a Client ID. Once the Client ID is entered the system will populate the details in the transaction area from the details as entered in the client’s master file.


    • Transaction Types

      Client Receipt (CR) manages the receipt of money from client’s for payment of accounts.

    • Allocation

      Once all data entry is correct, the system will display the green tick on the main toolbar. Once it is selected, the system will display the allocation screen enabling the selection of invoices that are to have the client receipt allocated to.

    • Payments

      We have partnered with Stripe so you can accept credit card payments online or in-person. Sapphire Web Pack for on-the-go mobile payments and SapphireOne client-server desktop for digital payments. Enter in client’s credit card details: Number, Name of Account Holder, Expiry Date, CCV and process. Option to save primary card details.

    Accounts Receivable - Inquiry

    There are four Inquiry screens that allow you to search and access your main Client files. There are – Transactions, Allocations, Clients and Class.

    SapphireOne Accounts Receivable clients transactions inquiry mac

    Client Transactions Inquiry

    When a Transactions Inquiry is selected the system displays a screen that lists all current transactions for clients. These will be listed initially by default in Sequence number order. A number of Sorting and Finding functions are available from all list screens in the SapphireOne system.

    These are documented in Chapter 3 of the Navigation and Procedures manual of SapphireOne enterprise financial accounting software.

    Transactions are listed in order of entry with the most recent at the top. Like other list windows you can manipulate the information that is displayed in the list by highlighting and using functions from the Options Menu or by using (Command K) and selecting from the Options as listed.

    SapphireOne Accounts Receivable clients allocations inquiry windows

    Clients Allocations Inquiry

    The Client Allocations Inquiry screen is similar to a Transaction Inquiry screen. This function only displays those records that the system thinks have not been fully allocated for some reason.

    Normally when a transaction is created and the system determines that an allocation should be made; it will immediately display the allocation screen limited to the Client for whom the transaction has been auctioned against. The user may then make an immediate allocation.

    The main purpose of this screen is to allocate transactions for Open Item Clients against their respective transactions that have not yet had an allocation made against them for some reason. For example, a Receipt against the appropriate Invoice.

    By default, when this function is selected any transactions for all Clients that the system determines have not been fully allocated will be displayed.
    By default only transactions that are less than 100% allocated are displayed.

    Clients-inquiry-mac-2020

    Clients Inquiry

    The initial Client Inquiry list screen presents a window that contains a list displaying some of the basic details about each Client. This will allow you to easily find and select the required Client for additional viewing or modifying.

    SapphireOne retains strict audit control and therefore does not allow the deletion of Clients.

    A Client may be changed from an Active Client to an Inactive Client and vice versa provided that they have a zero balance and there are no outstanding transaction auctioned against them when they are made inactive!

    clients-class-inquiry-mac-2020

    Clients Class Inquiry

    The Class Inquiry option allows the grouping of Clients into standard areas/groups as applicable to your business. This expands the sorting or grouping of your data in the production of reports generated from SapphireOne.

    Accounts Receivable - Process

    Post Client Transactions

    post-client-transaction-mac

    Post Client Transactions

    The Post Transactions function presents a window which contains all current transactions awaiting posting listed in date order.
    Activities here will carry the transactions through to the General Ledger updating the balances in all accounts concerned.
    It should be noted that this posting function will list all the un-posted transactions entered in the Receivables menu for the current period or prior periods.

    These are transactions that have the Status code of ‘ent’ for correctly entered and thus ready for posting. A status code of ‘Yes’ means that the transaction has successfully been posted.

    process-deposit-bank-account-mac

    Deposits - Bank Accounts

    This function prints out a report of all Deposits entered into the Bank Accounts.
    This can then be used to check that all deposits have been entered and can also be used to deposit money into the Bank.

    cashier-reconciliation

    Cashier Reconciliation

    It will automatically group all receipt types by all your various payment methods, i.e. cash, credit card, cheque, EFTPOS etc. Each one of these types will be grouped under the payment type. So for example we may have 50 cash receipts and all will be grouped as one receipt type with a number allocated to that group if we then select one of those groups if we select the open inquiry we can then see all the individual transactions that make up that group within our inquiry screen.

    Making for a very simple reconciliation process being able to quickly and easily reconcile all your cash for the days takings or your EFTPOS for the days takings, credit cards etc. giving us our opening balance at total cash, actual cards and the receipts received and then we can process that as a single batch.
