When you have entered all of the receipts, you need to Accept the batch. This will create the actual Receipt transactions and automatically post them.
The Accept button will be disabled if there is an unfinished receipt in the top half of the dialog box.
A confirmation dialog box appears.
If you are not going to bank this money immediately, choose a Bank Holding account into which to place the money. Use the Banking command when you finally bank the money
This will default to the current period, as determined by today’s date. Every receipt in the batch, regardless of the individual receipt date, will be posted into this period.
This is an optional batch number that is placed into the Analysis field of each receipt in the batch. By default MoneyWorks puts the total value of the batch (in cents) into the analysis field for you.
These default to the previous ones used.
At this point MoneyWorks creates the Receipt transactions and posts them, thus updating the balances in the Debtors ledger, Accounts Receivable and bank accounts.
Clicking Cancel will return you to the Debtor Receipts dialog box.
If you have more than one bank account, MoneyWorks will ask for confirmation that you have chosen the correct bank account when you process debtor receipts or creditor payments1. This is to minimise the possibility of receipting the money into the wrong bank account.
If you click the Cancel button in the Debtor Receipts dialog box (instead of Accept), all of the information that you have entered for the batch will be discarded. MoneyWorks prompts you for confirmation before doing this with an alert box. Click Keep in this alert box to return to the Debtor Receipts box without discarding the information that you have entered.
1 The warning is only given if the Confirm Choices: MoneyWorks Preference option is on. ↩
