Debtor Cash Receipts Entry - G/L Allocations tab

Use the G/L Allocations tab to manually enter any payments that have not been charged to a debtor's account.

When you enter a charge for a debtor through the Debtor Charges Entry program, the charge is allocated to the general ledger when you enter the receipt. See Entering debtor charges.

However, there will be instances where you receive payment that you have not invoiced for. For example, you might receive an unsolicited donation to the building fund. When you receive any unsolicited payments, you have to manually enter the general ledger allocations for those payments.

Note: Use the G/L Allocations tab to enter payments for enrolment deposits. See Paying fees in advance with enrolment deposits.
