How to Add a Payment

        There are two easy ways to add a new payment.  The first way is to go to the file menu and click on the add payment button or simply press the F2 button from the start screen, both pull up a new payment screen.  If the biller code is not known input 0 in the field and press enter.  This will pull a list of available billers already in the system (how to add a new biller will be later in the guide). Press the first letter of the company you are looking for and the program will bring up all the companies that start with that letter.  If that is still to large of a list to scroll through, enter the 2^nd letter of the company name and so on until the only name on the list is the company name your looking for.   Enter or tab over to the customer # field.  If the customer number is unknown input 0 into the empty field and press enter, this will bring up a list of customers already in the system (adding a new customer will be later).  Same as with the company name, enter the first letter of the customer’s last name and so on.  Next is the account number…enter the account number exactly like it is on the bill stub.  Enter or tab down to the amount field…enter the amount the customer wants to pay.  Payment charge will automatically add itself in the total amount due.  Enter the check number that is to be used and tab over to entered by…put you name there and enter down to okay or press the alt key and o together.  The next screen will be the print screen press ok and the check will print.  If you need to view a previous payment, simply bring up the browse payment screen by pressing the f3 key.  There are three ways to browse the payments.  First by the transaction number, second the date (all payments will be in chronological order if you click the date tab), last the customer id number.  By double clicking on the desired payment, you can pull up the payment screen for that payment.  You can view that payment and any notes for that payment.
