Sales Receipts

A sales receipt is for money you have already collected — a walk-in sale, a card payment, a deposit that cleared. Unlike an invoice, it never sits in accounts receivable: it records the revenue and the cash in a single posting.

Key capabilities

• One-step sale: revenue and cash/bank deposit booked together, no open AR
• Line items pulled from your products & services catalog with quantity and price
• Customer (optional), payment date, and deposit-to account on each receipt
• Sales tax applied per line and rolled into the receipt total
• Document attachments for the underlying till tape or card slip
• Posts a balanced journal entry automatically (debit cash/bank, credit revenue + tax)

How it works

When you save a sales receipt, DayZero posts a journal entry that debits the deposit-to account and credits the revenue and sales-tax accounts. Because the cash is already in hand, no receivable is created and nothing shows up in AR aging.

How to use it

1. Open Sales receipts and choose New.
2. Pick the customer (optional) and the date the payment was received.
3. Add line items from your catalog, set quantities, and apply any tax.
4. Choose the Deposit to account (the bank or undeposited-funds account the money landed in).
5. Save — the revenue and deposit post together in one entry.
