Split Statement

 

The Split Statement screen allows the user to break up a payment statement into separate groups of records identified by a given description. A batch, for example, can be separated into groups of similar items for accounting purposes, such as splitting charges owed to a van line (AP) from the payment received from a van line (AR), and then assigned to multiple workers to process a single batch concurrently.

 

A user can only split a batch with a status of Downloaded, Manual, or Open.

 

The Split Statement screen is available through the Split function in Batch Management.

 

Information with solid fill

You cannot void or reverse a batch once it is split.

Users can generate any number of splits to break up a batch, such as separating all payables (Payment Code of “Payables”) together in a split group titled “A/P.”

 

IMPORTANT: Items with a Payment Code of “Payables” that are related to an order for a positive amount should have their Payment Code changed to “Receivables”. See Payment Application for more information.

 

Changes made to this screen will not save until users presses Done.  To make corrections to an incorrect split, press Cancel and reinitiate the Split function from Batch Management.

Payment Code

The Payment Code assists in determining how to apply a payment through the Payment Application screen. Setting or changing this value has no effect on how the transaction is applied, however it can link the payment to external application (that may affect van line statement processing). Refer to Statement Payment Code Setup for more information.

Un-Check
