Import Cash Receipts

Use Import Cash Receipts to import a file containing customer cash receipt information to EDIFICE and to then create cash receipts transactions from this information.  

Import Cash Receipts uses an Import Source and a Cash Import ID to control the import process.  If the Auto Convert option of the Cash Import ID is set to Yes and the Import step completes successfully then the Convert step starts automatically.  This means that the cash receipt information is converted and written to the CASH-IMP file and the rest of the process continues.  Iif auto-convert is set to No then, after the import you must select convert to finish the process.  The Import Cash Receipts status window displays information about the step currently running for your review.

In addition to the status window there are two exception reports that can print, one for the import step and one for the convert step.  Use the exception reports to resolve issues with the import information.  If the import does not complete properly because of file corruption, for example, then the convert can’t be performed.  If the convert does not finish because of a missing customer ID, for example, then the import data must be corrected and the whole process must be repeated.
