Debtors Transactions

There are 4 types of transactions that can be entered in debtors:

The exception is if Auto Receipting is turned on for either of the bookings applications. Auto Receipting is covered in the Fastbook and GroupBook Training Guides.

To insert Debtor/Agent transactions, first select the agent in the Debtors application and then click on Transactions in the side bar menu.

When a booking invoice is created (from within the Bookings applications or Bulk Invoicing), an invoice line is created for each service line in the booking. This means that the booking has an invoiced amount stored against each service which can then be used for analysis purposes.

This also means that when receipts are issued against those invoices, a receipt line is created for each invoice line that the receipt is being applied to. This rule applies whether the receipt being applied is for the full amount of the invoice, or a partial amount. In the case of a partial payment being applied, the receipt amount is pro-rated on a percentage basis across each line. The exception to this is if a debtor’s payment is being applied to a specific service in the booking — see Receipt Individual Invoice Line(s).
