# Payments/Receipts

## **Integration Set-Up**

When a payment is registered in the accounting system, it should be transferred as applicable to the *Posted* sections of either the Accounts Payable or the Accounts Receivable modules (where the matching invoice(s) can be found) in Dataloy VMS.

Since a payment in accounting systems may cover multiple Dataloy VMS payments/receipts, extracting payments from accounting means extracting invoices matching to a payment. Only payments/receipts records with a matching invoice in the applicable accounting system and with a required reference to a Dataloy invoice are to be extracted.

In Dataloy VMS all payments must match with the referenced invoice. To insert a payment/receipt in Dataloy VMS use the request under Data Transaction (below).

## **Data Transaction**

* A payment record should ONLY ever have one document line. Never more.

## **Amount Prefix**

This matrix is showing which prefix the payment amount should have for the various cases.

| <p><br></p>   | Accounts Payable and Hire Payable | Accounts Receivable |
| ------------- | --------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| Receipt (PMI) | Positive Amount                   | Negative amount     |
| Payment (PMO) | Negative Amount                   | Positive Amount     |
