Customer Receipts

Concepts
Customer Receipts records payments received from customers on the sales side of Invoicing. The Invoicing route opens the shared customer receipt transaction screen, so the same receipt record can also support CRM and finance-side follow-up where those modules expose the shared transaction.
A receipt identifies the customer, the profile company receiving the money, the value date, amount, currency, payment channel, and transaction reference. Receipts can carry bank charges, gateway details, supporting documents, notes, and workflow status.
The list view is also a workflow workbench. Users can search receipts by date range, assignment, and closure status, then open a receipt, create a customer case, add notes, approve or reject, open or close, run actions, export, or invalidate records where their role permits it.
Operationally, a receipt is evidence that the customer payment has been captured in the ERP. The receipt may still need approval, matching, finance posting, settlement confirmation, or reconciliation before it should be treated as fully cleared cash. Browser callbacks, gateway references, and manual narrations are useful evidence, but they do not replace the ERP workflow and reconciliation controls.

What To Watch
Use stable internal references when following up on a receipt. External payment references can differ between banks, gateways, callbacks, settlement reports, and statement narrations, so the ERP voucher and customer record should remain the anchor. Before closing or approving a receipt, confirm that the customer, company, amount, currency, value date, and charge handling are correct.
