from either the B/F Customer Cash Receipts Entry (Balance Forward) screen or the Open Item Batch Entry screen. The Miscellaneous Cash Receipts Entry screen will be displayed.Miscellaneous Cash Receipts are payments received that are NOT related to your Accounts Receivable (your customer's balances). They are typically payments such as insurance payments (Cobra, settlements, etc), rebates for materials (metal, paper, etc), bond refunds, etc. The benefit of using this screen to enter the payments is for ease of bank reconciliation and keeping track of outside payments. Each payment will be listed on the Journal Entries report during the Month End procedure as well as the amounts being included in the deposit for that day for Bank Reconciliation.
The System will ask you what General Ledger code the payment should be applied to (since it is not going against Receivables). This is the CREDIT side of the journal entry. Therefore, you may want to check with an Accounting person to see where they want the payment to show.
