Entering a Simple Receipt

Step-by-Step

1. Navigate to the Cash Processing or AR Workflow homepage and click the Add Simple Receipt link.
2. Enter data for all pertinent fields (described below) and click Add Simple Receipt.

Required Data Fields

Paying Household – if receipt was made by a household, specify the household.

Paying Person – if receipt was made by a person, specify the person.
