This function converts payments in the suspended payments file into cash receipts
(payments) in the A/R system. You can specify whether or not this is a simulation as well
the range of payment receipt numbers, customer numbers and transaction dates.
Before attempting to convert suspended payments, the system will check to see if the A/R
module is installed. If it is not, then an error message is printed and you will be
returned to the menu.
For each suspended payment within the range specified, the system will verify that the
information entered for the suspended payment is valid, and will provide default values
for the suspended payment as necessary.
If there are errors with the suspended payment, error messages will be printed indicating
the problems with the suspended payment, and the system will not convert the suspended
payment into a cash receipt. As well, statistical information will be updated on the
suspended payment file, indicating the last user, terminal, date, time and number of times
that the system has attempted to convert the suspended payment into a cash receipt.
When there are no errors with the suspended payment, the system converts it to a cash
receipt, using the EDI entity you are logged onto as the A/R entity, and assigns the
proper sequence number to the newly created cash receipt. After this has been done, the
suspended payment is deleted from the system.
If "Simulation" option is set to "yes", the system will validate the
suspended payments within the range of payment receipt numbers, customer numbers and
transaction dates specified, but will not convert them into cash receipts. As well, a
"(Simulation)" message will be printed on each page of the report.
