Receipts in Voyager 8 are used to record revenue by applying received funds to open charges. When a payment is received:
If there are open charges, the receipt pays them off.
If there are no open charges, the funds are recorded as prepayments.
Manual vs. Automatic Receipts
Voyager 8 can generate receipts in two ways:
Manual Receipts: Entered by a user.
Automatic Receipts: Created automatically when using Yardi Payment Processing features like:
ACH/EFT
Credit Card Payments
CHECKscan
WIPS
Automated Cash Applications
In some cases, Voyager also auto-posts these receipts.
Person vs. Non-Person Receipts
Receipts can be linked to different types of records:
Person Receipts: Money received from tenants, customers, vendors, owners, or employees—all considered "person-type" records.
Non-Person Receipts: Money received without linking it to a specific person-type record. Useful for general deposits or other scenarios where no contact is involved.
