Point: If the invoice has not been finalized, review the status operation and then journalize it to reduce the number of backtrackings.

Step 4: Convert the receipt to a journal entry

  1. Open a receipt record.
  2. Select Create Journal from Actions.
  3. Check the journal amount, account, and tax rate, and create a deposit journal.
Point: If the invoice and deposit amounts do not match, add an adjustment line for fees and differences to make them consistent.

Operational points and troubleshooting

Operation points

  • Prepare the basic items for journal entry: Be sure to prepare the following five items: business partner, transaction date, tax rate, account title, and memo.
  • Unify input rules: Decide how to apply the tax rate (in record units /item unit/tax exempt) and rounding rules.
  • Corrections are handled by updating: Journal records cannot be deleted, so errors can be managed by editing or archiving.

Troubleshooting

  • Unable to create journal entry: Check whether the required items are included in the invoice or payment, and if any are missing, correct the original record.
  • Amounts don’t add up: Check how tax rates are applied, rounding, and add adjustment lines if necessary.
  • Invoice and deposit are out of sync: Review the rules for handling partial deposits and fees and check for any omissions in the association.
