A receipt is a document proving that money was paid to and received by the school. The system supports multiple receipt types; the accounting entries are the same for all types — the cashbook is debited and the selected accounts or projects are credited.
Finance > Cashbook: Receipts
How to issue a receipt
Click Issue receipts and select the receipt type: School Debtors, Other Debtors, Collector, Direct, Project, or Register Class.

Frequently asked questions
Can I cancel a receipt that is part of a deposit?
No. Receipts already included in a deposit cannot be cancelled. Receipts issued directly from a bank statement must be corrected via payments.
What is the difference between a Manual and System receipt?
Select Manual when the system is offline and you are working from a receipt book. Select System when online — the receipt number is assigned automatically.
