This program is used to manually enter cash receipts and apply values against Invoices in Workbench. An import function is also available. Workbench records receipt information to assist in the job and debt management process only and does not provide a conventional Cash Book function. These transactions are memorandum and do not get exported to your financial ledgers. Two versions of this program are available, one that uses the Client to identify outstanding invoices, the other uses the Job. The resulting receipt transaction is the same under both methods.
