Cant we use the current system to build another screen dedicated for POS entry? There will be no need for a connector then and everything will move according to the FA's current architecture

Yes, this is the only solution which seems to cater the problem, both from operational and accounting points of view.

There could be several credit card merchant accounts in one installation where this would fail. Appending the account code to the last part of the Payment Terms description is the only way out for now.

Thanks:)

Will any of the solutions I mentioned above work?

After understanding the complete process (if I understood it correctly), I have concluded that it is not practicable to have one user for entering Cash invoices and one for entering Credit Card invoices, especially in a restaurant environment where there can be too many customers waiting to get their bills.


So, a better solution can either of the following:

1. Ask the developer to change the hardcoded account if the payment term is selected anything other than "Cash". Because anything other than cash is booked as receivable.

2. Create Credit Card Clearing account and declare it as a current account. Then make it the default receivable account from SETUP ==> System & GL Setup. Then create a new payment term as Credit Card and create a new Payment Term, call it credit card, select number of days and then 1. So that such sale automatically goes into credit card receivables account and is shown in receivables the very next day.


I apologize for taking a lot of time, but I am keen to understand the system in order to make the best use of it.

The POS is fixed in the users table and hence it this that ultimately determines the hardcoded value of the cash account! Hence, create a user and assign the Credit Card POS and link it to the Credit Card Cash Type account and login as that user to perform such transactions.

Thanks a lot. I will request a developer to change the code for me

The second option seems to be more reasonable, especially from control point of view. For example, I would not want anyone entering an invoice to select cash account as payment method when the payment term says credit card.

So, how can we set a default (hardcoded account) to receive payments into based on Payment Terms?

In our case, it gets cleared at the end of month. So I want it to goto a clearing account where the accountant can further process it when balances are cleared.

I am a professional accountant smile

Hello guys.

@apmuthu, I guess you have explained it all.

Normally if you accept credit cards you have got an agreement with a provider or a bank. So the money enter into an account in your bank.

There will probably be a little delay,, but it could be an intermediate account, depending on how detailed you want this.

Also talk to a local accountant about this.

Thanks for the explanation sir

I already tried the method explained by you as I had read through a lot of posts. But unfortunately the default cash account gets hardcoded in Payment and I cannot apply payment to this newly created account.

Any way to bypass this hardcoding?

apmuthu wrote:

Setup => payment Terms => create new payment terms as Cash type but name it credit card. make an account code similar to cash and call it credit card. Make it a bank account - your merchant bank account.

It appears that the first non default cash type of account in the bank accounts gets hard coded in creating a direct invoice.

Quick Entries as in this post may be useful.

@joe: What is the correct way to make a "Cash" sale (Payment Terms) for a credit card transaction.

Hi

I am trying to setup Direct Invoice for a restaurant. Here payment terms can only be Cash or other terms defined in Payment Terms option.

How can I add credit card option here so that the amount receivable after making a sale goes to credit card receivable account instead of the general receivables.

How can I configure FA to show branch-wise profit & Loss? I tried using dimensions but failed as dimensions are not robust enough to be implemented on Purchases.

The goal is to be able to view a consolidated Profit & Loss Statement of the company as well as three branches independently.

Any guidance will be highly appreciated.

I am trying to setup a new company which has three branches. But I am stuck-up

The goal is to be able to view a consolidated Profit & Loss Statement of the company as well as three branches independently. Moreover, these branches buy stock and sale it as it is (without manufacturing), so how can I show them their respective stocks? (maybe by using location).

Any guidance will be highly appreciated.

There's another email after that smile
