Gen. Credit Memo Product

When a customer/member makes a pre-payment in advance, Aptify generates a negative balance order that can be subsequently applied to another order as credit memo. This field specifies the product used on the generated credit memo order. See Configuring Prepaid Deposits for details.

This drop-down lists the different Refund Vouchers available to use for this payment type. Refund Vouchers allow organizations to create multiple Refund Voucher payment types (each associated with its own GL Accounts).

Comments Tab

This tab stores any information related to the payment type. All comments from the original order will flow into a cancellation order or a cloned order.

Filters Tab

This tab stores the set of Organizations to which this payment type applies. If an employee is not linked to an organization on this tab (or to a child organization if applicable), then this payment type will not be available for selection in the Payment Type drop-down list.

See Understanding a Payment Type's Type for additonal information.

Inflow

Select this option if the payment type represents a movement of funds into or out of the organization. Only the payment types that have this option selected appear in the Payments form's Payment Type drop-down list. For example, the Purchase Order payment type is a promise to pay and not an actual payment. It has the Inflow check box cleared and can be selected from an Order's Accounting > Order Payments sub-tab but not from a Payment's Details tab.

Active

Select this option to make the payment type active.

Allow "Save for Future Use"

Select this option to make the payment type eligible to be saved for future use. Starting with Aptify 5.5.1, selecting this option causes the Save for Future Use option to become active on the Orders form, and the saved payment type appears in the Saved Payment Method drop-down list when a new order or payment is created for this person/company, allowing the user to apply the payment type without re-entering the related information.

Credit Card Type

Use this drop-down menu to select the credit card type. For example, if enabled, the system will validate that the provided card number matches the card type identified. If not, the payment save will fail. Each Credit Card Types record identifies the starting digits for a particular type. For example, the Visa Credit Card Types record specifies that Visa card numbers begin with 4.

Web Enabled

This option is added in Aptify e-Business 5.5. Select this option to enable the payment type to be used in Aptify e-Business.
