Where collected money goes
Availability
Accounting and vault links — enabled per workspace. Configured by a workspace administrator.
Post a collection into the customer’s account balance, and into a cash vault, so both the customer’s ledger and the company’s cash tracking reflect the money that came in.
Before you start
- Linking to accounting and linking to a vault are two separate actions — a collection can be linked to one, both, or neither.
- Back-dating the transaction (recording it as if it happened on an earlier date) requires an additional admin permission. Without it, the date you request is silently replaced with today’s date — no error is shown.
Steps
- Open the collection’s details.
- Choose Link to accounting to post it to the customer’s account, or Link vaults to post the amount into a chosen vault (the amount is prefilled).
- Confirm the prompt.
- To reverse either link, use the matching undo action from the same menu. The linked entry is reversed and the link action becomes available again.
What can go wrong
A back-dated transaction shows today’s date instead. You need the permission for custom accounting dates. Without it, your requested date is replaced with today’s — check with your administrator if you need to record historical dates.
You can’t void a paper receipt collection that’s linked. Undo the accounting and/or vault link first — see Void a paper receipt.
Editing a linked collection’s amount changes the ledger. Changing the amount on a collection that is already linked re-issues its accounting and vault entries (using the original dates) rather than blocking the edit — double check amounts before linking if this matters to your workflow.
