Processing Receipts

Processing Receipts

Overview

When you receive payment for a Billing/Event item at the school office via cash/card, you will need to receipt the payment against the applicable debtor.  

To receipt a student payment, go to the Organisation menu (grid icon) and click 'Billing Management'.

Please Note: Where the parent is paying via the school office eftpos machine, we recommend processing the eftpos transaction first to ensure it is successful before processing the receipt in Compass via Billing Management.

Click 'Add Document' and select 'Receipt'.

     

Select the applicable Debtor and add in the details.

     

To allocate the payment to existing invoices, click 'Add Invoice'.

     

Any outstanding invoices for this debtor will show in the pop-up. Select the ones that the payment will apply to and click 'Add'.

     

Click the associated edit pencil icon to edit the amount being paid in this transaction for each included invoice.

     

You will see the 'Total Payment' update accordingly and it should reflect the amount being paid by the family in this transaction.

     

When all funds being paid have been allocated, click 'Ok' to process the receipt.
 
If the payment is an advance payment - there are no invoices yet to allocate the funds to - you need to click the edit pencil icon for the Unallocated Amount and add in the amount being paid. 

Please Note: This is known as Unallocated Funds, and will be available to be used by the parent in their Action Centre until it has been allocated using a Fees in Advance payment. For more information on this, please refer to the Fees in Advance and Unallocated Funds section of the 'Billing Day to Day Management' article from the Knowledge Base.

      

If the family would like a copy of the receipt, select the transaction and click 'Selected' and choose 'Generate PDF Receipt'.  You can download a PDF file to your device and then print it off.
