Introduction

This chapter provides information on processing and maintaining payments received. A payment received is an amount of money received by the organization and recorded on the system. Payments received are usually sent to the organization in response to a bill. That is, they are used to pay off liabilities. Unlike payments and liabilities, payments received are not generated as part of case processing (the Financial Batch Suite). Instead, they are recorded on the system either manually by a user or via a batch process that records payments received in bulk, for example, all payments received by EFT from a particular bank. Payments received are associated with a person's financials through the allocation of the payment received toward one or more outstanding liabilities.

Note: If your organization is using an integrated environment, the payment received processes described in the chapter are the responsibility of the ERP financial system. For more information, please refer to the Cúram Financial Adapter Technical Overview Guide Guide.
