Issuing a Receipt Tip It is easiest to issue a Receipt directly from the Booking window For example, click the Receipts button on the Bookings window to issue a new Receipt for a payment on that booking (See "Entering Payments against a Booking" on page cii) instead of clicking the Receipts button on the Home window or choosing Receipts from theBookingCenter menu. So, make sure that the booking that you want to issue the receipt for is loaded into the window beforehand.
1. Click on the Receipts button on the Home window. The Receipts window will open.
2. Click on the New button.
3. Enter the Receipt Type code.
Tip Enter a '?' or just hit [Tab] to display a lookup list of available Receipt Types.
4. Enter the relevant details for the receipt and click OK. You will then see the New Receipt Item window.
5. Enter a '?' or just hit [Tab] to display the Bookings List. Select the required booking from the list by double-clicking on it. Its details will be loaded into the window.
6. Enter the amount into the Payment field and click OK. You will be returned to the Receipts window with the booking reference details for that payment listed in the window.

Finding a Receipt 1. Click on the Receipts button on the Home window. The Receipts window will open.
2. Click on the Find button.
3. Enter one known value to search on in any one of the fields that you can [Tab] into and then click
OK.
Note You can only perform a Find on one known field value at a time i.e. you cannot perform a
simultaneous find on say the Receipt ID and Drawer. If you only know the Drawer name,
then [Tab] into the Drawer field, enter the Drawer name and then click OK.
4. If the record you are looking for doesn't come up first, use the Next and Prev buttons to cycle through these records to locate the one you are looking for.
Tip It is sometimes easiest to find a Booking or a Group and find the associated Receipt than
looking for an individual Receipt through the Receipt Details area.

Allocating a Receipt Tip Use this feature to perform what is commonly called managing 'Direct Bills' or 'Debtor Accounts'. This is based on the common business practice where a lodging property extends credit to a Guest or a Company and then allows them to pay down the'debt' or 'credit' (in the form of an outstanding balance) at a later time. When one 'allocates a Receipt' they are doing so to a booking - or a number of bookings - that have outstanding balance(s) in order to pay
down all or some of the balance due. See (See "Managing Company Accounts (also known
as 'Direct Bills' or 'Debtor Accounts')" on page xcvii for more infomration.

you to allocate payment.

only occur if you did not fully allocate all monies issued to the Receipt originally, ie, there is more
