Tip #216
Paying ON ACCOUNT Orders

When you receive a payment for an order that was entered with an ON ACCOUNT method of payment, DO NOT change the method of payment on the order.  Simply pay it through the A/R module using the method of payment provided by the customer.

Remember that if the method of payment is by check, the reference number will be the check number.

If the method of payment is by credit card, just enter CC in the reference number field.  flowerSoft will provide a unique number after the CC.

The same goes for a CASH method of payment.  Just enter CA in the reference number field.

Credits to an account should have CR in the reference number field.  Debits should start with DB.  Again, flowerSoft will provide unique numbers after the first 2 letters.

Never, ever, ever use the same reference number for 2 different payments.  Ever.

In other words, never enter CHECK or CK or CASH or CCARD and reference numbers.
