Details section
Following the selection of the client, the lower part of the screen will refresh to display 3 tabs: Apply to sales, Open invoices & Amount unapplied.
You are able to mix the application of the receipt between sales, open invoices or leave it unapplied.
If there are any open AR invoices, the open invoices will be selected. Otherwise, 'apply to sales' will be selected.
Apply to sales
Fill in the appropriate fields, at this time you are only creating a single sales line. After saving you will be able to add additional lines if necessary.
- GL account: select a sales/income account
- Amount: enter in the amount you wish to apply
- Description: enter a description regarding the application
Open invoices
Select the appropriate invoices or click Auto apply
NOTE: When an invoice is selected the full amount of the receipt will be applied toward that invoice. If the receipt is for more, then there will be an amount shown in 'amount unapplied'.
If you wish to partially apply the receipt towards multiple invoices, select the first invoice > click into the Applied field and adjust the column to the appropriate amount > select the next invoice, and the remaining balance will be applied. Repeat steps, if necessary.
Auto apply: clicking on this button will allocate the check amount to the individual invoices. Workamajig will apply in order from the first in the list downwards. It will apply the check amount toward the full open amount of the first invoice before proceeding to the next invoice. As it moves down the list, the box to the corresponding invoice will be automatically checked.
Once you have completed your selections/entries, click SAVE

Void a receipt
Once a receipt has been posted, it may become necessary to void the receipt. This is done by simply opening the receipt and clicking ...More > VOID
NOTE: Voiding the receipt will reopen any invoices that have been applied to the receipt.
The voided receipt will have the original receipt number followed by - VOID ( Ex. 1234-VOID). It is recommended that you change the receipt number lookup filter to "Contains", to ensure any -VOID receipts are included in the results.
Client credit
A credit is considered a reduction in the AR amount on a client invoice. In Workamajig this is done by creating a credit memo or negative client invoice.
