House Accounts Tab

Enter any payments or charges for in-house charge accounts for the day. Payments and charges made here go into Compeat's Accounts Receivable system, which uses the open item method of accounting — payments are received unapplied to charges, and can be subsequently applied on the Apply Customer Payments screen.

This is also a good place to enter banquet deposits and redemptions. The net amount of all entered transactions is carried over to the House Accounts field on the Taxes and Receipts Tab (that is, the sum of the billed amounts minus the payment amounts).

Note: This tab is only displayed if "Use House Accounts" was selected under Setup > DSR Definitions > Other Accounts tab when Compeat was setup.

Compeat automatically calculates a running total for the amount column and displays it at the bottom of the screen. If you are entering house account transactions from a POS report, this might be a useful check to ensure that you have not made an entry error.

Note: Payments can be received either through the DSR using this tab, or by sending payment in from a statement. In the latter case, use the Receive Customer Payments screen to record the payment.
