Prepays : Applying Prepays : Using Apply Prepayment

Using Apply Prepayment
Voyager typically applies prepays automatically, but you must use the Apply Prepayment feature to apply prepays in either of the following situations:
l
l
You want to override the Hold for setting made on the Receipts screen when the prepay was created, so that prepays that are configured to be allocated to a particular charge code are applied to any open charge.
This procedure applies to imported prepays and prepays with a Ref type of Hold for. It does not apply to normal prepays, which are applied automatically, or to prepays with a Ref type of Manual, which can be applied only through the procedure described in “Manually Applying Prepays”.
This procedure automatically creates zero receipts. Instead of recording the receipt of funds, a zero receipt records the application of previously receipted prepay funds to a charge.
This procedure requires access to Voyager System Administration. If you do not have access to Voyager System Administration, ask your system administrator for assistance.
Charges marked Hold on the Charge screen cannot be paid with this procedure. You must manually remove the hold from all charges to which you want to apply prepays. See “Editing Charges”.
