Working with POS Terminal
Reckon Accounts
Payments made on a customer’s account in POS Terminal must be applied to their invoices when the payment is
posted to Reckon Accounts. This does not have to be done every day but it must be done on a regular basis if the
BAS is to be calculated correctly.
1. Open Reckon Accounts.
2. Go to the Customers menu and then click Receive Payments.
3. Select the customer account.
4. If the customer has an outstanding credit amount, click the Credits button.
5. Repeat this for every customer with existing credits.
6. Click OK to save and exit.
The Automatically apply payments option in Reckon Accounts under Sales & Customers preferences does not
work for customer account payments created in POS Terminal. The option works for customer account payments
created in Reckon Accounts.
Reckon Accounts accrual based accounting
If you are using the accrual based accounting method it is not necessary to apply the payments to each customer
account. With this method, your BAS is calculated correctly without applying any payments.
