Record a payment received from the Payments Received screen

Steps

1. Open MAJA Books and click Sales in the left menu, then Payments Received.
2. Click Record Payment. The form Record Payment Received opens with Against Invoice selected.
3. Choose the Customer *. MAJA fills the customer's default Salesman.
4. Optionally choose a Collector (who collected the money).
5. In Against Invoice, pick the open invoice being paid.
6. Set Payment Date *.
7. Choose the Payment Mode: Bank Transfer, Cash, Cheque, Credit / Debit Card, Online Payment or Other.
8. Choose Received Into * — the bank or cash account.
9. Enter Amount Received (AED) * and, if you like, Reference / Cheque #.
10. Check the Journal Entry (auto-posted on save) preview, attach the remittance advice if you have one, and click Record Payment.

What MAJA does for you

• MAJA gives the receipt the next number (shown in Payment #), posts it and applies it to the chosen invoice, then opens the saved receipt.
• Anything paid above the invoice balance — or a payment with no invoice selected — is held as unapplied customer credit, and MAJA tells you the amount.
• The receipt can be shared or printed from its page with Share and PDF/Print.

Good to know

• For a cheque, choose Cheque and fill Cheque # / Maturity; MAJA moves Received Into to Cheques in Hand — not yet banked. Both the cheque number and the date on the cheque are required.
• The list shows a Write Off or VOID badge for receipts that are not ordinary payments.
• The salesman and collector on the receipt are kept for performance tracking and the Commission screen.
• For money received before you invoice, switch to Advance Payment instead.
