How to control the Period that Payments are posted to in AR

  • Updated
When you are in AR Manager and entering payments, Orion recommends typing in your payment and applying it and hitting SAVE.   When you are ready to post the transactions, choose Action > Payment Application Posting and post the transactions to the desired period. On this screen, you have control over what period in which your GL transactions will be created. You may still change the period if you need to in GL Manager to correct it prior to approving and posting them in GL.   If you hit Save/Post when entering payments in AR Manager, the system will create the transactions in the GL with the default GL period that you see on the Action > Payment Application Posting screen.     This default period does not change until you tell it to change either when prompted in AP when doing the first Voucher for the month or until you advance the period under AP Manager > Tools > System Settings and manually change the Current Period.  It is this Current Period field that controls the default period for both AP and AR and once it has been advanced, any new Vouchers entered in AP and new payments entered in AR will be created with the new GL period.
