Processing payments and refunds

In Event Manager, invoices can be paid or refunded from both the Payment List and Invoice List. Once a payment or refund has been processed, it will be displayed on the Payment List. *Note: If you do not currently have access to this feature, please contact your Sales Representative or Client Services for more information.

Processing a payment

       Bright Idea:

If you know the number of the invoice you need to process a payment for, make your payment from the payment list.

If you do not know the number of the invoice you need to process a payment for, locate and make your payment from the invoice list.

 

Making a payment from the invoice list

  1. Click Invoices from the side navigation menu and select Invoice List.
  2. Find the invoice you wish to process a payment for and click Pay. This will open the payment window for this invoice.

 

 

 

  1. The Invoice Total, Paid to Date, and Outstanding balances are listed at the top.
  2. The Payment Amount will be auto-populated with the outstanding balance, but can be manually adjusted if necessary.
  3. The Payment Date will be auto-populated with the date the payment is being added, but can be manually adjusted if necessary.
  4. Select the Payment Type from the drop down menu. The options available are Cash, Check, Credit, Purchase Order, Online, or Other. *Note: Online Payment is only available if a payment gateway has been configured.
  5. Enter a Payment Number, if applicable. *Note: This number will be displayed underneath the payment date on the payment list, and can be used as a search term to find the payment later.
  6. Enter any necessary Payment Notes. *Note: Do not store Credit Card or other sensitive financial information here. Event Manager is not meant to store this type of information.
