Help documentation for LabManager version 8.3

Some information on what step 3 is doing

The Remitter is now ready to pay the invoices in the CSV file. You will need to choose the principal account that will act as the intermediary for the money, as well as the date to record when the payment took place.

The account you select here acts as an intermediary account for the payment. Put simply, the payment you have physically received from the customer should be added to the account that you select here (the principal account), and the Remitter portions this off to the dentist accounts as appropriate, saving you the bother of doing this manually.

As long as you add the total payment to the same account that you choose from this list, the amount going in and out of the account should match, leaving a zero balance on the account.

Notice in the drop down selector you can select any customer account as the 'Transfer money from account', this is because you can receive a remittance from any customer account. See: Principal Accounts

How to apply the payment

Select the account to transfer money from (usually a principal account)

Enter the Payment date

Wait until the 'Payment transfers made and allocated Ok' message appears then..

In LabManager, you must now add the full payment received onto the principal account you chose.

For example, if the remittance amount was £2315.84, and you chose IDH as the principal account, once you close the Remitter you must go to the IDH account in LabManager and add a payment of £2315.84 to balance the account.
