Made payroll deduction for A/R, did not reduce balance on A/R

Error:

Cause:

Failed to use the accounts receivable deduction option in payroll . Instead , entered the a/r CG invoice number under description, entered the amount to withhold from pay check, entered a gl code (not A/R gl code).

Solution:

To get the monies withheld from the paycheck to reflect the balance on the accounts receivable CG order, go to:

Order Entry, Search for the CG number. Click on payments. Select a receipt file. Go to discount. Enter the amount withheld from the paycheck. Change the GL Discount code to the code used in payroll. Example: 461

Details:This will reduce the balance of the accounts receivable record by the amount withheld from pay check.
