How AutoCount Easy Deposit Plugin Works
1. Payment Settings
Access Payment Settings: Go to Easy Deposit > Payment Setting to configure key deposit settings.
Set Minimum Sales Order Payment: Here, you can set a minimum required deposit for each sales order. This ensures that an order cannot be saved unless the required deposit amount is entered.
Configure Minimum Transfer Payment: You can also set a minimum transfer payment, ensuring that a sales order stays as an open order until a specific percentage of the payment is collected. This feature is particularly useful for managing timing with sales tax calculations.
Pro Tip:
Regularly review payment settings to align with your cash flow needs and tax regulations to avoid issues during order processing.
2. Recording a Deposit in a Sales Order
Create a Sales Order: Go to Sales > Sales Order and create a new sales order.
Record Payment: Once the order is created, click on the Payment and Refund button inside the sales order screen.
Enter Payment Details: Select the payment method and enter the specific amount received from the customer.
Save the Transaction: Once saved, the system will automatically display the paid amount and the remaining balance, making it easy to track payments in your main order list.
Pro Tip:
Ensure that the payment method is correctly selected to avoid discrepancies between recorded payments and the actual payment method.
3. Transferring to Invoice and Automatic Knock-Off
Transfer Sales Order to Invoice: Once you’re ready to bill the customer, go to the sales order and click Save to transfer it to an invoice.
- Automatic Knock-Off: A pop-up window will automatically appear asking if you want to “Knock Off” the deposit against the new invoice. Click OK to apply the deposit to the invoice, leaving only the final balance to be paid by the customer.
Pro Tip:
Ensure the invoice reflects the correct remaining balance after applying the deposit to avoid confusion with customers during payment.
4. Analyzing Collections and Cash Flow
Generate Sales Order with Deposit Report: Go to Sales > Easy Deposit and generate the Sales Order with Deposit report to give customers a clear breakdown of their paid and unpaid balances.
Use Cashflow Analysis Report: For internal auditing, use the Cashflow Analysis report to track exactly when payments were collected for each sale, helping you identify payments made outside the standard range.
Pro Tip:
Use the Cashflow Analysis to track trends in customer payments and improve forecasting for future cash flow.
