The AR Cash Control document is normally used by the processing organization.


General Information About the Cash Control Document

  • The Cash Control document provides a mechanism for linking the deposit of funds on the Cash Receipt to the Application documents

  • The Cash Control does not generate any general ledger entries

  • Any user in a billing organization or a processing organization can generate a Cash Control document

  • The Cash Control document will route to the processing organization that your billing organization is associated with


Cash Control Field Explanations

  1. The Org Reference field can be used when a billing or processing organization would like to attach a reference number on the document specific to their unit. This field is optional.

  2. The Status shows the status of the document. It is filled in automatically depending on where the document is in terms the approval hierarchy.

  3. The Description field provides a description of the reason for the Cash Control document.

  4. The Medium field is a drop down arrow field from which the user selects the means in which payment will be received. Options are Cash, Check, Credit Card, or Wire Transfer).

  5. Depending on the Medium type, the Ref Doc # field could be a CR, DI, or GEC. This document is usually generated by the processing organization after review of the Cash Control. The number will only be filled in after the processing organization has clicked on the Generate Ref Doc button.

  6. The APP Doc # field contains the document number where the processing organization will apply the dollars on this specific line.

  7. The Status field represents the status of the APP Doc.

  8. The Customer # field is where the user can enter the customer number of the funds represented, if known. This field is optional.

  9. The Date field is an optional field.

  11. The free form field below the Amount field is for any additional information you would like to enter about this line item.

  12. The Total field represents the total amount of all the line items entered


If a Billing Organization or Processing Organization Receives Cash

  1. The billing organization receives the cash.

  2. The billing organization creates a Cash Receipt, depositing funds to their processing organization’s clearing account, and to object code 8015.

  3. Clearing account numbers are as follows:
  • UA-AR 6812950
  • UA-ARCG 6812901
  • SB-ADAF 6854550
  • NW-NW 6858550
  • IN-ACCT 6872885
  1. The billing organization prints the Cash Receipt.

  2. The billing organization sends a copy of the Cash Receipt and money to the Bursar via a courier.

  3. The billing organization creates a Cash Control document with payment medium type of CASH and types the Cash Receipt document number in the Org Ref field in the top right hand corner.

  4. The processing organization must verify that the Cash Receipt # in the Org Ref field is correct by performing a document search.


What Happens in the System When the Payment Medium Type "Cash" is Selected?

  1. The organization which received the cash enters in the Cash Control which automatically generates the Cash Receipt.

  2. The pending ledger entries associated with the Cash Receipt are as follows:

  4. See the Application document information for remaining steps.


If a Billing Organization Receives a Check

  • The billing organization should send the check to the lockbox via US Mail

  • The lockbox process will generate the Cash Control document

NOTE: If the processing organization receives a Cash Control document with a payment type of Check from a billing organization, they will need to verify that the check was indeed sent to the lockbox, and cancel the document because the lockbox will "generate" a Cash Control document.

Application Document


When to use the Application Document

An Application document can be used to move money from unapplied dollars to apply to a customer or designate as non-Accounts Receivable.


Who can Create an Application Document?

 The Application document can only be used by the processing organizations.


 General Information About the Application Document

1.       The Application document is used both in connection with the Cash Control document and on its own. When used in connection with the Cash Control document, the document has four ways to designate/apply dollars: Quick Apply, Apply Detail, Non-AR, and Unapplied Dollars. When used on its own, the document allows the user to apply dollars at the detail level only. How to designate/apply dollars from both the Cash Control document and Application are described below

2.       Quick Apply- the Quick Apply can be used if your Cash Control document total equals one or more invoices exactly. This can only be used with one set of dollars at a time. If the user conducts a new search, the system will automatically discard applied amounts from the screen

3.       Apply Detail- Applying detail allows you the flexibility to apply a check to multiple customers or invoices at either the invoice level or at the invoice item detail level

4.       Non-AR- Non-AR is used when money has been sent to the AR lockbox but is not associated with an invoice in the AR system. Non-AR allows the user the to get the money out of the AR system without having to do a GEC or DI

5.       Unapplied Dollars- Unapplied dollars can be used when we receive a check but we do not know which invoice it is paying off.  It allows us the capability to associate it with a customer but not apply it to an invoice.


How to use the Application Document if Coming Through the Cash Control in the Lockbox 

1.       After your reference document has been created on the Cash Control document the processing organization can double click on the APP Doc on the Cash Control document. This will bring up the Application document

2.       Once you bring up the Application document, you will notice a section in the top right hand corner labeled Control Information. You will not be able to edit any of the fields listed in this section. In the Control Information section, you will note the following:

a.       Org Ref #: This will automatically be filled in with the Cash Control Document Number. This provides us a way to cross reference these documents

b.       Customer: This field will bring over the information that you typed in on the Cash Control document in the Customer Number field

c.       Control Total: This field represents the amount that you typed in the Amount field on the Cash Control document. The Application document will force the processing organization to apply all of the dollars to invoices, designate the dollars as Non-AR, or place them in unapplied dollars

d.       Balance: This field is the control total less the sum of the dollars applied to invoices, designated as Non-AR, and placed into unapplied. Before the user can click OK, the balance must be zero

e.       PMT #: This field will bring over the information that you typed in on the Cash Control document in the Medium ID.

3.       If the processing organization chooses to use the Quick Apply:

a.       The user double clicks on the Quick Apply button

b.       If the invoice number is present on the list of invoices then the user can click on the Apply box next to the invoice they wish to apply to

If the APP docs have not all gone to “A” status, then the Cash Control document will go back into the user’s inbox.

4.       If the processing organization chooses the Apply Detail function:

a.       The user clicks on the Apply Detail button

b.       Select Customer: This retrieves all open invoices associated with the customer you selected, if filled in on the Cash Control document

c.       At this time, you can pay off invoices or pay off invoice item detail by clicking on the scissors next to the cash control amount and dragging it either to the big clip board, to pay off an invoice entirely, or dragging it to a smaller clip board which will allow you to pay off invoice item detail.

Processing Application Problems

Due to the level of detail that we allow dollars to be applied to invoices, the system is very volatile. If someone in your processing organization is applying dollars to invoices, the system will not allow you to go any further. It will give you a message stating the system is locked and by whom.

If you need the system to be unlocked, please contact the AR Supervisor, Jennifer Mabry at (812) 856-5769. Please note that when the AR Supervisor unlocks the system that all changes will be lost.
