CHECK NUMBER FORMAT WARNING

Starting a check number with "CM" or using the word "CRED/DIS" tells the entrée system and the reporting system that the payment is a Cred/Disc transaction.

For non-Cred/Disc transactions you can use one of these options: start the check number with "_CM" or ".CM", but do NOT use "CMxxxx".

 

Enter a unique check or reference number for the customer's payment in this field.

 

Cash sales may be recorded using a check number of CASH followed by the payment date. CASH071704 is an example for a payment made July 17, 2004.

 

Should the payment need to be canceled later, the check number will be required to identify the receipt.

 

If a duplicate check number is detected, the Duplicate Check Number warning message will display "Check Number "1234" is already in use for this customer. Since this will affect canceling of cash receipts it is recommended that a unique check  number be used to alert the user to the duplicate entry. Would you like to change it?".

 

Click Yes to continue.

 

 

When a receipt is canceled ALL transactions with the reference number specified will be reversed. This makes it imperative that each receipt has a unique check number.
