Overview

Overview

This automation identifies any outstanding invoice set to be paid via CreditCard/ACH, including those submitted via eInfo. Some AR departments don't always catch invoices to be paid immediately with CreditCard/ACH and as a result payments are allowed to go past due without notice. This ensures clients who request to pay via CreditCard/ACH will actually be charged at time of invoice. Remember that an invoice will 'inherit' this setting from the Bill-To Customer (if it is set there), and this makes the rest of the process much more painless.

 -You can quickly process these payments via Accounting / Accounts receivable / Process customer charge accounts:

**Even if you don't use eAuto to process credit card charges, you will need to process these invoice transactions by entering the info in the required fields (the ones with a * next to them) and click ok. It will probably throw an error saying it couldn't be processed but you just click ok on that error and continue.
