Payment Types

Menu Path:  Billing & Receipts > Reference Tables > Cash Receipts > Payment Types

Use the Payment Types page to create payment types for users to select from when entering receipts, such as cash, check, and credit card. When you create a payment type, you assign it to a category and specify whether a reference number, such as a check number, will be required during receipt entry.

Typically, you can have multiple payment types per category, such as VISA, Master Card, and Discover payment types for a credit card category. The cash category can only have one payment type.
