Receipts - Contract Module
The Receipts page of the Contract module goes hand in hand with the Transactions page. The Receipts page allows you to capture information about a payment that was received rather than paid. The breakout of the fields allows for easier report filtering. The Receipts page is separate from the Transactions page because not every payment transaction will have a receipt associated to it.
In the typical workflow, the receipt is created and associated to the existing payment transaction. The information on the receipt is then reflected under the Payment Info section of the transaction. The receipt record will keep track of the allocations and the amount that has been associated to any existing transactions. This allows users to associate a receipt to multiple payments.
