How to register customer payments by checks
|
||||
============================================
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways to handle payments received by checks. Odoo support
|
||||
both approaches so that you can use the one that better fits your
|
||||
habits.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Undeposited Funds:**
|
||||
once you receive the check, you record a payment
|
||||
by check on the invoice. (using a Check journal and posted on the
|
||||
Undeposited Fund account) Then, once the check arrives in your
|
||||
bank account, move money from Undeposited Funds to your bank
|
||||
account.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **One journal entry only:**
|
||||
once your receive the check, you record a
|
||||
payment on your bank, paid by check, without going through the
|
||||
**Undeposited Funds**. Once you process your bank statement, you do
|
||||
the matching with your bank feed and the check payment, without
|
||||
creating a dedicated journal entry.
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend the first approach as it is more accurate (your bank
|
||||
account balance is accurate, taking into accounts checks that have not
|
||||
been cashed yet). Both approaches require the same effort.
|
||||
|
||||
Even if the first method is cleaner, Odoo support the second approach
|
||||
because some accountants are used to it (quickbooks and peachtree
|
||||
users).
|
||||
|
||||
.. Note::
|
||||
You may have a look at the *Deposit Ticket feature* if you deposit
|
||||
several checks to your bank accounts in batch.
|
||||
|
||||
Option 1: Undeposited Funds
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Create a journal **Checks**
|
||||
|
||||
- Set **Undeposited Checks** as a defaut credit/debit account
|
||||
|
||||
- Set the bank account related to this journal as **Allow Reconciliation**
|
||||
|
||||
From check payments to bank statements
|
||||
--------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The first way to handle checks is to create a check journal. Thus,
|
||||
checks become a payment method in itself and you will record two
|
||||
transactions.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you receive a customer check, go to the related invoice and click
|
||||
on **Register Payment**. Fill in the information about the payment:
|
||||
|
||||
- Payment method: Check Journal (that you configured with the debit and
|
||||
credit default accounts as **Undeposited Funds**)
|
||||
|
||||
- Memo: write the Check number
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
This operation will produce the following journal entry:
|
||||
|
||||
+----------------------+-------------------+----------+----------+
|
||||
| Account | Statement Match | Debit | Credit |
|
||||
+======================+===================+==========+==========+
|
||||
| Account Receivable | | | 100.00 |
|
||||
+----------------------+-------------------+----------+----------+
|
||||
| Undeposited Funds | | 100.00 | |
|
||||
+----------------------+-------------------+----------+----------+
|
||||
|
||||
The invoice is marked as paid as soon as you record the check.
|
||||
|
||||
Then, once you get the bank statements, you will match this statement
|
||||
with the check that is in Undeposited Funds.
|
||||
|
||||
+---------------------+-------------------+----------+----------+
|
||||
| Account | Statement Match | Debit | Credit |
|
||||
+=====================+===================+==========+==========+
|
||||
| Undeposited Funds | X | | 100.00 |
|
||||
+---------------------+-------------------+----------+----------+
|
||||
| Bank | | 100.00 | |
|
||||
+---------------------+-------------------+----------+----------+
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you use this approach to manage received checks, you get the list of
|
||||
checks that have not been cashed in the **Undeposit Funds** account
|
||||
(accessible, for example, from the general ledger).
|
||||
|
||||
.. Note::
|
||||
Both methods will produce the same data in your accounting at the
|
||||
end of the process. But, if you have checks that have not been cashed,
|
||||
this one is cleaner because those checks have not been reported yet on
|
||||
your bank account.
|
||||
|
||||
Option 2: One journal entry only
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
These is nothing to configure if you plan to manage your checks using
|
||||
this method.
|
||||
|
||||
From check payments to bank statements
|
||||
--------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Once you receive a customer check, go to the related invoice and click
|
||||
on **Register Payment**. Fill in the information about the payment:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Payment method:** the bank that will be used for the deposit
|
||||
|
||||
- Memo: write the check number
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: ./media/check02.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
The invoice is marked as paid as soon as you record the check.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you will receive the bank statements, you will do the matching with
|
||||
the statement and this actual payment. (technically: point this payment
|
||||
and relate it to the statement line)
|
||||
|
||||
With this approach, you will get the following journal entry in your
|
||||
books:
|
||||
|
||||
+----------------------+-------------------+----------+----------+
|
||||
| Account | Statement Match | Debit | Credit |
|
||||
+======================+===================+==========+==========+
|
||||
| Account Receivable | X | | 100.00 |
|
||||
+----------------------+-------------------+----------+----------+
|
||||
| Bank | | 100.00 | |
|
||||
+----------------------+-------------------+----------+----------+
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
You may also record the payment directly without going on the
|
||||
customer invoice, using the menu :menuselection:`Sales --> Payments`. This method may
|
||||
be more convenient if you have a lot of checks to record in a batch but
|
||||
you will have to reconcile entries afterwards (matching payments with
|
||||
invoices)
|
||||
|
||||
If you use this approach to manage received checks, you can use the
|
||||
report **Bank Reconciliation Report** to verify which checks have been
|
||||
received or paid by the bank. (this report is available from the **More**
|
||||
option from the Accounting dashboard on the related bank account).
