Receipt & Adjustment Entry

• Field Defaults and Settings

  These options affect the Time & Billing > Receipts & Adjustments > Entry tab.

  You can customize how to keep track of your receipts with the Default Control Date and Default Date drop-down menus.

  The Date field refers to each individual payment, such as the day the firm received a payment.

  A Control Date is a way to collect a number of individual receipt or adjustment transactions into a logical group.

  Your firm can choose whether a particular control date represents a single day, or whether multiple days are entered into a single control date. A commonly used technique is that a control date represents a specific bank deposit, and each receipt deposited in that batch will be entered into the same control date. The control date, however, is not ever used to determine which date (and therefore period) that a receipt is posted to.
• You can also select either to hide and/or skip when tabbing to other entry fields.
