Enter a Payment from a Customer Not on File

1. From the Tasks menu, select Receive Money. Sage 50 displays the Receive Money window.
2. Leave the Customer ID field blank. This allows you to enter the customer's name. The receipt sale will update the general ledger but eliminate the need to keep a customer record.
3. Make sure you enter something in the Check/Reference No. field, such as the check number. This is a required field.
4. In the Cash Account list, enter or select the bank account in which the receipt is deposited.

   If you have the Hide General Ledger Accounts global option activated, the Cash Account lookup list displays only names of cash accounts currently set up in the chart of accounts.

5. On the Apply to Revenues tab, enter details that make up the receipt amount. You may have several line items or just one line item. It depends on your processes and what the customer has purchased.

   Note: If you enter an amount in the Receipt Amount field, the Apply to Revenues tab will populate with this amount on one line item. You might want to do this if you don't need to track any details about what this customer has purchased or break out sales tax.

6. Make sure the Receipt Amount is equal to the total amount on the Apply to Revenues tab.
7. Click Print if you want to print and save the receipt. Otherwise, click the Save button.
