Financial Transactions Key Processes and Concepts

Processes / ConceptDescription
Cancelling Versus Rejecting Financial Transactions

Financial Transactions cannot be deleted. If they have been erroneously created then you can correct them by using either the Cancel or Reject action. Both actions will not be taken into consideration by any financial process of the system.

  • Use the Cancel action of you have already posted the invoice or the payment
    • Cancel action is available for Invoices and Payments
  • Use the Reject action if the transaction is still is Draft state
    • Reject action is available for all Financial Transaction Classifications
Posting of Financial TransactionsFinancial Transactions belong to an account of a customer or to a system account. In order for a Financial Transaction to affect the balance of the account, it needs to be Posted (Life Cycle State). The Posting process can be done directly when creating the Financial Transaction by using the SAVE button, or you have the option to create the financial transaction in state Draft, by using the Save as Draft button and use the Post action at a later stage.
Allocation of Credit Transactions on InvoicesAllocation of Credit Invoices is always done based on the Allocation Principle of the account. Check out Understanding Accounts Receivable Key Processes and Concepts section for a description of how allocation works in CRM.COM

Financial Transactions Key Processes and Concepts

Processes / ConceptDescription

'Cancelling' Vs 'Rejecting' Financial Transactions

Financial Transactions cannot be deleted. If they have been created accidentally, then this can be corrected by using the 'Cancel' or 'Reject' action. Neither action will be taken into consideration by any of the system's financial processes.

  • Use the 'Cancel' action for Invoices and Payments that have already been 'Posted'. The Cancel action creates new Financial Transactions of the respective classification
    • Invoice Cancellation
    • Payment Cancellation 
  • Use the 'Reject' action for all Financial Transaction Classifications, if the Transaction is still is 'Draft' Life Cycle State.
    Reject action will change the Financial Transaction's Life Cycle State to Draft. 
Posting of Financial Transactions

Financial Transactions created in 'Draft' Life Cycle State by using the Save As Draft button can be posted at a later stage by using the ' Post' action.Alternatively, you can set the Life Cycle State of a Financial Transaction directly to 'Posted' by using the SAVE button instead of Save as Draft

  • Use the 'Save as Draft' to save as 'Draft', when you do not want the Financial Transaction to be taken into consideration by any System financial process, yet
  • Use Save to save as 'Posted' and have the Financial Transaction being taken into consideration by System Financial Processes
Allocation of Credit Transactions on Invoices

Allocations are used to allocate Credit Financial Transactions against Invoices, in order to settle any outstanding amount. Allocations are applied automatically by the System based on the allocation principle specified on the active Accounts Receivable Definition.

View Accounts Receivable as well as Understanding the Allocation Principles for a description of how the allocation principle works in CRM.COM
