About Entering Receipts and Invoices at the Same Time

You can use the A/R Receipt Entry screen to enter invoices at the same time as you enter receipts for existing customers as well as for one-time customers.

In Sage 300 Accounts Receivable, you enter a miscellaneous receipt. Some other programs call this type of entry a "cash invoice."

Note: When you enter a miscellaneous receipt for a one-time customer, you leave the Customer Number field blank

When you specify Misc. Receipt in the Transaction Type field, Accounts Receivable displays a detail-entry table where you can enter general ledger account distributions for the receipt, just as you do when adding an invoice using the A/R Invoice Entry screen.

Tip: If you prefer to view all the information for a detail, without scrolling, click the Accounts/Taxes button to enter the details using the A/R Detail Accounts/Taxes Screen (Receipts) screen.

If the receipt is for an existing customer, you can also enter job-related details. To display the necessary job-related fields, you select the Job Related option on the A/R Receipt Entry screen before you enter any details.

For step-by-step instructions on entering miscellaneous receipts, see Processing a Cash Sale or Miscellaneous Receipt.

Tax Information for a Miscellaneous Receipt

Accounts Receivable calculates tax and updates Tax Services for miscellaneous receipts, as it does for invoices you enter using Invoice Entry.

When you post the miscellaneous receipt, Accounts Receivable creates an invoice transaction as well as a receipt transaction. The entries are combined on the same posting journal.
