Invoices and Payments

In AbtracOnLine invoice payments and outstanding accounts can be managed independently from your accounting software with our optional Debtor Management module.

You can record invoice payments, account for write-offs and adjustments, and report on your debtors from this add-on module.

From Debtor Management >> choose Invoices and Payments.

Like most screens in AbtracOnLine, you can change the display order of these fields from Administration >> Settings >> User Control Settings >> choose ‘Debtors – Invoices and Payments’ page.

Invoices and Payments Settings – AbtracOnLine

Go to Debtor Management >> Invoices and Payments. Here you can view the invoices with respect to their payments.

Click on any invoice number to preview the invoice.

Clicking on the ‘Print Results’ button will give ‘Invoices Report’. This contains the invoiced and outstanding amounts for the current selection.

You can also enter detailed comments with each payment event. You will need to save your entries before closing this screen.

‘Date Paid in Full’ will be automatically filled in with the latest/most recent payment event date and the ‘Paid in Full’ tick box checked, once the payment(s) equals the invoice amount.

This date can be reset or changed, by editing the ‘Payment Date’ and is used as the date for payments in debtor reporting.

You will be prompted to print a receipt if you have checked the ‘Prompt for Payment Receipt’ tick box.
