post dated checks

Using my Dolibarr
1

When I entered a payment to a Customer invoice using a post dated check, that payment goes as a paid transaction. But it is still not a paid transaction, because the check date is a future date. We have to wait until that date the check to be realized.

How could I handle this post dated checks in a proper manner? Please give me an advise.

Thanks

Doesn’t reconciliation of cheques deal with that?

Thanks for the reply. What do you mean by reconciliation of cheques?

I haven’t tried/tested it recently but on 4.0 I walked through the cheque feature and this is what I learnt:

Customer invoice > pay by cheque. Cheque shows as ‘waiting to deposit’.

You create a ‘cheque deposit’ (when you go to the bank?) and it will let you select all the cheques which are waiting. Then it will generate a receipt.

So in your case, I would say, your invoices will be marked as paid, but the homepage statistics will show how many cheques are waiting to deposit (put in the bank). Then you would put all the cheques in the bank at once which will be recorded on one cheque deposit sheet (auto generated).

So whilst your invoices might be marked as ‘paid’ you will have the same number of cheques ‘waiting to deposit’.

Hope it helps.
