Place a Payment On-Account
Use the Cash Receipts Entry (RCE) program to place a payment on-account. When On-account is selected the unapplied portion of the payment is the default for the on-account payment amount for invoice ON-ACCOUNT01. You can override the payment amount and add multiple on-account entries with different references. ON-ACCOUNTnn entries during deposit entry can range from 01 to 99. ON-ACCTnnnnn invoice numbers are generated in sequence based on prior entries completed. See Background and Road Map for more information.
