Receipt

A receipt is the process of posting monies received by the district.  A reduction of expenditure is the process of reducing an already posted expenditure.  Receipts and reduction of expenditures may be processed on the same receipt transaction by specifying the type in each line item. The posted receipt will show RC for receipt and RX for a reduction of expenditure. A receipt will use a revenue account whereas a reduction of expenditure uses a budget account.

Individual user receipt processing is controlled by a variety of variables such as User account where the Account Filter and Role are defined for each user, Rules, etc.  The Receipt number can be set to auto increment based on the Transaction Configuration settings under System/Configuration.

More Information

Refund of Prior Year's Receipts

Refunding a prior year's receipt means the district needs to refund money that was receipted into the prior fiscal year.  Receipting into the wrong account is just one example why a district would need to do a refund of prior year's receipt.

1. Create a purchase order to the vendor (or electronic vendor if this is a 'correcting entry' vendor) using the fund used on the original receipt using a 7500 9xx (refund of prior year's receipt code).
2. If you need to re-issue the receipt, you will need to do so in the current fiscal year.
3. Post an Invoice and Disbursement to the vendor.

By default, the account code must be active and receipt codes 51xx and 52xx are not allowed.  This behavior may be customized if desired, see rules org.ssdt_ohio.usas.model.receipt.ReceiptAccountRules and org.ssdt_ohio.usas.model.receipt.ReceiptRestrictedCodes.  The 51xx and 52xx receipt codes are reserved for Transfers and Advances which must be entered via the Transfers/Advances option.

Receipts generated from AR Payments

When applying a Payment in Accounts Receivable, the 'generate receipt' option is checked by default which, when posted, will create a USAS Receipt.  Receipts created via AR Payment postings can be queried, viewed and printed in the Receipts module.
