Payments” in the Collabox, refers to receipts from services or products sold. Thus, for each invoice created in the system, a remittance entry must be created.
In order to correctly record these operations, an internal control of the receipts is necessary. It is therefore important that you assign a number to your invoices, which Collabox does automatically for you when you create the invoice.
Also, you should plan to create a list of payment methods that are normally accepted by your company. Like for example:
- checks,
- credit and debit card payments,
- bank transfers,
- direct debits,
- bank deposits
- cash,
- Square,
- Paypal, etc.
By exercising key Collabox principles, such as experience accumulation and single entry, Collabox has succeeded in simplifying the visualization and access to interdependent data. From the same environment (the same screen), Collabox offers you the possibility to view the invoice, payments (installments) and disbursements related to a product or service. A simple management tool that will enrich your business processes.
