Accounting Transactions Reference Sheet

Transactions are created for Payments, Invoicing (sales transactions), Adjustments, etc. and all transactions are associated with “orders,” with the exception of prepayments.  Memo transactions, and later for non-receivables, where no invoice number yet exists, transactions are associated with order numbers and invoice numbers.

Transaction Types

Personify utilizes the following transaction types:

Transaction Type

Code

Description

Receipt

1

Receipts are shown as negative numbers.  They reduce the balance on an order.

Voucher/Refund

2

Vouchers are refunds shown as positive numbers.  They increase the balance on an order

Receipt Transfer

3

These happen in pairs, one for each line item involved in the receipt transfer.  The base amount show as a positive number on the line form where the receipt was removed, and a negative number from where the receipt was moved.

Sales

4

Sales transactions are shown as positive numbers.  They increase the balance on an order.

Write-off

5

This writes off a receivable amount either positive or negative.  If writing off a debit balance, there is no credit to accounts receivable and a debit to write-off.  If writing off a credit balance, there is a debit to accounts receivable and a credit to write-off.

Adjustment

6

An adjustment is a debit/credit memo.  The sign on the number depends on whether it increases or decreases the balance on an order.  For example, if the adjustment reduces the price, it is shown as a negative number.

Revenue Recognition

7

This does not affect the balance of an order.  It just moves money between deferred revenue and recognized revenue accounts.  Therefore, the amount on the transaction is zero.

Memo

8

This is a placeholder and never goes to the General Ledger.  It is not counted in the calculated of an order balance.

Deferred Receipt

9

These are special transactions because there are no transaction details and are not sent to the GL.  They indicate that there is a scheduled payment plan.  The amount will show as a negative number like a real receipt so that the balance will show how much is currently due on an order.

Non-Receivable

0

These transactions are passed to the GL,  but are not associated with an order in Personify

Journal Entry

J

These are any transaction that goes against two accounts.  It is not associated with an order.  For example, the inventory number was changed and a write-off account was created.
