How to use Receipt Journals

Receipt journals are used to make adjustments to your accounts receivables ledger without affecting the bank account. 

Receipt journals are used for transactions such as writing off bad debts and/or offsetting credit notes.

To create a receipt journal navigate to Accounts > Receipt journals

Offset credit notes

When a credit note has been raised and logged in JobBag, it needs to then be offset against the client invoice. This can be done by creating a receipt journal.

In the example below, click on the blue amount in the amount due column for the amount to populate in the journal column > select both the credit note amount (X0001) and the client invoice amount (61) > enter a description for the transaction in the notes field and save

Note: Credit notes can also be offset in the Create new receipt window. In this example client invoice number 46 was paid by the client

Write off bad debt

In the example below we are writing off client Invoice 46 to the bad debts written off account

- Select the invoice amount under Journal (A$)

- Complete the don't credit line > job number (OVER) > kind (BDWO - Bad Debts written off)
