Deposit/Payment Entry (SOC718)

Use this feature to enter customer deposits or payments on SO documents.

You can access this feature from any of the SO Order Management programs (Order Entry, Service Order Entry, Confirmation, Direct Invoice Entry, Credit Memo or Counter Sale Entry) by selecting the Deposits or Payments buttons.

If an invoice contains a zero balance payment or deposit with a transaction (i.e., transfers, apply on account, refund, etc.) against it and you attempt to delete the document, the system displays a message indicating that the financial transaction will remain in effect. You can delete this document, or, you can backup to the Payment dialog box and delete the transaction if necessary.

When a deposit is transferred to another order, the system applies the same deposit settings from the Daily Sales Register to the order that receives the deposit.
