Re: [SL] one check, multiple invoices

[Jeff R. <je...@jr...>]

Hi Michael

One total balance for each customer? That's not what I get.

When I click Cash, receipts, update I get a listing that includes every invoice owing to me. If customer ABC owes on five invoices they are all listed there 

ABC Canada Ltd.      5202      10-10-2008      730.03      730.03      
           
                                   5197     10-10-2008       931.21     
931.21                    
                                   5201     10-10-2008      2,799.37     
2,799.37                    
                                    5196     10-10-2008     1,751.05     
1,751.05                    
                                    5198     10-10-2008     301.21     
301.21                    
                                    5199     10-10-2008     790.09     
790.09                    
    
If they sent a cheque that pays the first three and the last two I just 
click on the radio boxes for those five invoices put the cheque number 
into the source box and then hit enter, it leaves the middle one out and 
applies that cheque number to the other five. No Problem, all done in 
one step.

If your customer sends individual cheques then you need to use receipt 
instead of receipts but that's not SQLs fault that's your customers fault.
