Post on Account Tab

Cash Posting & Allocation

This tab is on the Cash Received form. It is used to make postings to the Sales Ledger account for sums of money that cannot be allocated to specific documents already on the account. You can make a negative or positive on account posting and you can also make multiple postings.

To make an on account posting click the Add button which will invoke the on account posting form. The payment date and reference are defaulted onto the form from the Header Tab.

The on account postings will create transaction records with a document type of 'P ' to indicate a payment on account transaction.

The following fields need to be completed:

Branch

If branch analysis is being used it is mandatory to enter a branch analysis code. Click the drop down button to select the appropriate Branch Analysis code.

Tip: This field is not shown if Branch Analysis is switched off.

Ageing date	Enter an ageing date which is entered into the Due date field in the transaction record. Click the ellipsis button to search a calendar for the appropriate date. All on account postings are shown separately and can be left with the default date. A parameter dictates if, on account postings are to be aged against the oldest debt.
Reference and Miscellaneous Reference	Enter a Reference and Miscellaneous Reference for the on account posting that will be made.
Payment amount	Enter the value for the on account posting.

Click the OK button when the form is complete and Autoline will return you to the Post on account tab and enter the created record into the grid on that tab. You can then enter further on account postings by repeating the process. Alternatively if you wish to cancel the transaction then click the Cancel button.

Once an on account posting record has been added to the grid you can select it for amendment or deletion by the use of the appropriate button that will become enabled when the record has been selected.
