Field Description - Receipt Date

The Receipt Date identifies the date a payment was received.  For payment transactions, the Receipt Date is sometimes referred to as the Transaction Date.

Where-Used:  Usually, the Receipt Date is automatically updated as detail payment transactions are applied against a Tax Account by the Cash Receipts module.  However, you can update the Receipt Date for a transaction during Tax Master Maintenance at the Balances and Detail Tab.  The Receipt Date prints on the Open Item Report as Transaction Date.

Note:  Refer to the Tax Type Codes Chart for information about the source of transactions from other modules.

Format:  Date (MM/DD/YYYY)
