Recording Checks As Payment In The Meal Input Screen
Students may pay for items purchased, both reimbursable meals and Ala Carte items, at the Point of Sale with a check. The check may be for amounts greater than the amount due for the current transaction and if this is the case then the excess over the current transaction amount is credited to the existing balance.
Students may then put additional money on their account or pay past due amounts with a check at the Point of Sale in the Meal Input screen. The same result may accomplished by a cash transaction but here we are referring to transactions with a check which in most instances are for amounts greater than the current amount due.
We must note that it is very important that when a check is used as the form of payment that we record that check number in the reference field in the Meal Input screen. Entering check numbers indicates that the amount was remitted or paid with a check and not cash. The absence of a check number indicates that this was a cash transaction. Payments by check are recorded as a check in the student's cash history file and the check numbers are indicated in that history. The cashier end of day routine require that payments by cash and checks be reconciled separately. When we do not enter check numbers when in fact a check was used for that payment then the cashier end of reconciliation may become more difficult.
It is important that we enter the check number for payments made by check.
This tutorial will show how to record check numbers.
