Failure t make payments in the prper rw will cause balances t g unpaid in ne mdule and credits t appear in anther. Yu can have a credit balance in ne mdule and a debit (an amunt due) in anther. Yu cannt have a credit and debit within the same mdule. CTG-21 FIN-Taking Payments (10-1 May 08).dc Page 1 f 20

2 3 Payment amunts are always entered in the white New Amt Paid r Dep/Visit Paid field, where the field cming dwn meets the mdule rw ging acrss. The Ttal rw at the bttm will d the additin autmatically. Yu cannt update this field directly.

Figure 1: The Glbal Payment Update, Mdule Details Screen Nte: If a custmer wants t pay $20 fr child care and gives yu a $50 bill, $20 wuld g in the New Amunt Paid field n the first screen mentined (the Mdule Details screen) and $50 wuld g in the Pay Amt field n the main Payment screen.

This allws yu t start ver and des nt save yur changes. Yu CANNOT cancel ut f the Manual Apply screen. Yu will visit a Manual Apply Screen when a custmer pays less then what is due. Once there, it is t late t cancel. D nt panic!! Finish the transactin and refer t the Payment Reversal Q&A sectin f this dcument. 5 Pre-Payments/Overpayments: If a custmer pays mre than is due, the ver-payment appears as a credit in the advance payment general ledger accunt and cst center. In CYMS this is knwn as the Cntrl Accunt. A clerk cannt flag advance payment mney fr the CDC r SA. It is the husehld that has the credit, nt the center. Once the husehld is charged fr a prgram, the mney is debited frm (taken ut f) the Cntrl Accunt and credited t the prper prgram revenue accunt. Clerks can nly direct mnies t specific prgrams if the husehld wes a balance. This is dne n the Manual Apply Screen. CTG-21 FIN-Taking Payments (10-1 May 08).dc Page 2 f 20

5 Backgrund - Pay Cdes Pay Cdes are yur methds f payment (tender types). Crrect setup and use f Pay Cdes is critical t having yur financial paperwrk balance at the end f the day. CYMS has 4 basic Pay Cde grupings: Patrn-Related Cdes: These are the cmmn payment methds yu must accunt fr n yur bank depsit. They include: Cash, check, credit card, mney rder, etc. Agency Cdes: If an agency (Wives Club, State Scial Services, Exceptinal Family Member r any ther utside surce) is ging t pay fr all r part f a patrn s fees, these payments get psted t the qualifying husehlds autmatically at the time f billing. Using the Aut Pay prcess, (refer t CTG-28 FIN Setting Up Aut Pay) the husehld balance is reduced by the amunt f the Agency payment during billing the remaining balance is the husehld s prtin. When the Agency payment is made t the husehld, the mney hits yur revenue accunt and (because at this pint the Agency hasn t reimbursed the center) a receivable is set up fr the amunt f the payment. When the Agency reimburses yur center (typically 4-12 weeks later), yu wuld make a CYS Misc Incme Psting t reduce the amunt f the receivable. This is a new Psting Prgram fund under Perid End CYS. Yu shuld n lnger use the ld Misc Incme psting prgram fund under Perid End Glbal. See the CYMS Quick Guide n Agency Payments (CQG-25) fr mre infrmatin hw t bill the agency, and hw t prcess the reimbursement checks. CYMS will nt let yu verpay using an Agency Pay Cde. This is by design and necessary. Discunt Cdes: CYMS always bills 100% f what is due. If yu give discunts fr Parent Participatin, Cach s Discunt, Vacatin Credits, Emplyee Discunt, GWOT, Hardship Discunt, etc, CYMS can autmatically apply the discunt at the time billing is run. The husehld is left with nly it s prtin f the balance (if any) t pay. Discunts reduce revenue at yur Centers, but by using Discunt Cdes t make payments, yu can track the amunt f incme yu lst r savings t patrns due t the discunts. Tracking in this manner can be dne by single Discunt Cde, multiple Cdes (such as all GWOT cdes) r all Discunt Cdes. CYMS will nt let yu verpay with a Discunt Pay Cde. This is by design and necessary. System Cdes: These cdes (Jurnal, Refund, System, etc) are used fr administrative actins within CYMS. Taking Payments Full Payment Example: The custmer has a $250 Activity balance and is paying $250 with a check. 1 Frm the Main Menu, click Glbal Sales. Lkup the husehld r child and select it. Yu will be taken t the Glbal Payment Update fr <Husehld> screen. CTG-21 FIN-Taking Payments (10-1 May 08).dc Page 5 f 20

Yu will prceed t the Glbal Sales Update Main screen. Figure 3: The Glbal Payment Update, Mdule Details Screen shwing a $ payment in Activity. 3 Right-click in the Pay Cde field and select the crrect payment methd. Fr this example, use Pay Cde 1 (check). Fr custmers using multiple pay types, such as cash and check, r if the custmer is eligible fr a c-payment frm an agency r wishes t use a Vacatin Credit r Emplyee Discunt, refer t the Split Payments sectin belw. 4 The Pay Ref 1 & 2 fields can be used t reference the check # r, if the custmer is paying cash, the mnth/billing the custmer is paying fr. Anything entered in these fields (e.g., ck # 1701) will display n the Cash Jurnal, General Ledger, and Transactin Histry reprts.

Click Print t print the receipt, r Preview t shw the receipt n the screen. 7 If yu d NOT want t print a receipt, click N Print. NOTES When paying in full, the system desn t allw yu t chse where t put the mney. S, it is pssible that part f the payment went against a different center s balance. Fr this reasn, yu cannt keep paper balances utside the system. Balances must be maintained and quted frm CYMS! Failure t keep CYMS current and have it serve as yur master accunting recrd fr patrn payments will cause many financial issues dwn the rad. Taking Payments Partial Payments Example: The custmer has an activity balance f $376 and is paying $275 with cash. 1 Frm the Main Menu, click Glbal Sales. Lkup the husehld r child and select it.

The ONLY way yu can leave the Manual Apply screen is t apply ALL the mney. T leave this screen, the Amunt Left T Apply MUST = Full Pay Yu are telling the system t take whatever dllar amunt is in the Amunt Left T Apply field and apply as much f it as pssible tward the activity that is highlighted at the tp f the screen. CYMS will nly allw yu t pay up t what is wed fr the selected class. Fr example: The custmer has paid $ The amunt due n the first activity is $ Yu will highlight that activity and click Full Pay. CYMS will apply $ f the $ tward that activity, leaving yu with $75.00 in the Amunt Left T Apply field. Partial Pay Yu are telling the system yu wish t apply a prtin f what is left in the Amunt Left t Apply field t the activity that is highlighted at the tp f the screen. Fr example: The custmer paid $ The amunt due n the first activity is $ but the custmer nly wants t pay $75.00 tward that balance. Yu will highlight that activity and click Partial Pay.

The clerk must wrk with the custmer t decide which enrllment(s) t pay fr and hw much mney will be applied t each. The custmer cannt ver pay at ne center if there is a balance at anther. The husehld wes $168 fr a Full Day Pre-Td class (580 Y107 FD PTOD) at the CDC and $208 fr B/A classes at Schl Age ( BF/AF SA) and is paying $275. Regardless f where the payment is made, the balance at the ther Center will be decreased. 7 Our spnsr wants t pay the full balance wed n the CDC class ($168) and apply the rest tward the balances at Schl Age.

Taking Payments - Vacatin Credits / Agency C-Pays Example: The husehld wishes t use 1 week f vacatin credit n their next billing r receives an nging Agency c-payment. VSI recmmends all Agency and discunt payments be made using the new Aut Pay Lgic. See CTG- 28 (Setting Up Aut Pay) fr mre details. If yu chse t make an Agency r Discunt payment manually, be aware CYMS will nt let yu ver-pay. Because f this it is recmmended that yu use the Aut Pay lgic. If yu are unable t d s, yu shuld attempt t make these payments right after the billing has ccurred as there is a better chance that the husehld will have a balance. Regardless f hw a discunt payment is made, the DAR will shw a credit t revenue the ffset will be t a custmer discunt accunt. Regardless f hw an agency c-pay is made, the DAR will shw a credit t revenue and the ffset will be t a receivable accunt. This is imprtant fr Finance. Taking Payments Agency Accunts IMPORTANT NOTE Mst Agency Payments, such as n-ging Agency C-Pays, Deplyed Service Member Discunts, etc can be managed thrugh Installment Billing Aut-Pay.
