At times families may have credit invoices that need to be applied/absorbed to other invoices before sending out accounts or performing an end of year rollover. This can be achieved automatically through debtors end of period or manually through receipt entry.
Automatic Absorption of Credits in Debtors End of Period is a quick click process. Credits are applied to transactions in date order or cost centre order. As this is an automated process you cannot be selective on what transactions the credits are applied to or which families are processed.
Manual Absorption of credits in Receipt Entry is slower as it is done on a family by family basis but this does allow you to apply credits to selected invoices.
OPTIONS
- Automated Application of Credit.
- Manual Application of Credit
OPTION 1 – Automated Application of Credit.
STEPS

STEP 1: Backup invoice file 20 (recommended)
We recommend that you back up invoice file 20 so you can reinstate invoices in-case a computer malfunction occurs during the process or you don’t like how the credits were applied. For further information on how to back up an individual file refer to ‘Backing Up Within PCSchool’ helpfile.
