NoteVisit Understanding Financial Transactions for business examples related to Creating Financial Transactions

Use Financial Transactions to manage transactions that will either debit or credit the customer's Accounts Receivable.
There exist six different Classifications of Financial Transactions, each with its distinct characteristics and behaviour. Four of the Classifications can be manually created.
Invoice - Debits the Accounts Receivable
Credit Note - Credits the Accounts Receivable
Payment - Credits the Accounts Receivable
Refund - Debits the Accounts Receivable
The other two are automatically generated by the system when Payment or an Invoice is cancelled.
Payment Cancellation- Debits the Accounts Receivable
Invoice Cancellation - Credits the Accounts Receivable
Financial Transactions have a Life Cycle State which determines whether the transaction affects the Accounts Receivable Balance.
Draft transactions can be 'Posted', 'Rejected' and edited and do not affect the Accounts Receivable Balance.
Posted transactions are permanent, cannot be edited and affect the Accounts Receivable Balance.
Rejected transactions cannot be edited and do not affect the Accounts Receivable Balance.

Navigate to Financial Transactions and explore existing records via the Summary page.
Click on the number of the record of your interest to enter the Data Entry page and see more detail.
Use the Actions Menu to create a NEW Financial Transaction or modify (EDIT) an existing one. Financial Transactions cannot be deleted but can be rejected or cancelled, depending on their Life Cycle State.
Use the PRINTOUTS link to extract or email information related Financial Transactions to the customer.
Use BACK to return to the Summary page and CANCEL to revert any unwanted changes made to the Financial Transactions.
Click on ACTIONS to discover other possibilities available for Financial Transactions.
