ElicshtxService

 This web service provides methods related to cash receipt transactions, including:

  • ViewOpenItems
  • AddCashTrx
  • ViewCashTrx
  • DeleteCashTrx

ViewOpenItems

This method returns a customer’s open items, including Invoices, Payments, Credit Memos, Debit Memos and Financial Charges. This is similar to Elliott “Customer Account Inquiry” or “Customer Account Summary Inquiry.” One additional feature this method provides is the option to show Pending Cash Receipt.

The current implementation can return up to 2,000 rows of an A/R open item table. If you have any customer that has over 2,000 rows in an A/R open item table, then you should consider one or both of the following strategies:

1.        Do not return the fully paid A/R Open Item Records.

2.        Purge Fully Paid A/R Open Item Records.

Usage:

ViewOpenItemsResult = A.ViewOpenItems(UserName, UserPassword, ViewOpenItemsInput)

Parameters UserID and Password are not used at this moment.

ArApplyTo()

ArApplyToSumRecord

These are the records in AROPNFIL for the corresponding customer, in the Apply-To summary format. If IncludePendingCashReceipts is set to “Y,” then the information in ARCSHTRX and ARCSHAPL will be merged into this array. The array is displayed by the Apply-To sequence.  As a result, the open payments/credits (0 apply to) will be displayed first, including ARCSHTRX with no apply-to record. The 0 apply to will be displayed individually without being consolidated.

ArApplyToAmount1

Double

For invoice type record, amount1 is the sales amount. For payment type record, it is the received payment amount.

ArApplyToAmount2

Double

For invoice type record, amount2 is the freight, misc. charges and sales tax.  For payment type record, it is the discount or allowance amount.

ArApplyToTotalAmount

Double

Generally speaking, this is the invoice record’s amount1 + amount2

ArApplyToPaymentAmount

Double

This amount includes all payments of this apply-to.

ArApplyToAdjustAmount

Double

This amount includes all credit, debit memo, and finance charge of this apply-to.

ArApplyToBalance

Double

This field = TotalAmount + PaymentAmount + AdjustmentAmount. (since PaymentAmount is expressed in negative value).

ArApplyToAge

Integer

Number of days past due.  This value can be negative, which means the invoice is paid before due date.  Please refer to A/R Account Summary Inquiry for more examples.

ArApplyToPaymentPending

String

This value can be “Y,” “N” or blank.

If ShowPendingCashReceipt is set to “Y,” then this value is either “Y” or “N.” “Y” means there’s pending payment in A/R Cash Receipt for this apply-to. Vice versa for “N.”

If ShowPendingCashReceipt is set to “N," then the value will be blank since we do not check whether pending payments exist.

ARApplyToOpenItems()

ARApplyToOpenItem

This array contains the detail records of the apply-to.  For example, if an apply-to consists of one invoice, one credit memo and one payment, then the invoice record will be displayed in the ARApplyTo().  All three records, including the invoice, credit memo and payment will be displayed in ARApplyToOpenItem().

Code Example (VB)

The following sample codes return open item summary for customer “000044,” including pending cash payments and excluding fully paid items.

 

Dim Service As New webServicesCash.ElicshtxService

Dim Input As New webServicesCash.ViewOpenItemsInput

Dim Result As New webServicesCash.ViewOpenItemsResult

Input.CustomerNo = “000044”

Input.IncludePendingCashReceipts = “Y”

                      Result.ArApplyTo(0).ArApplyToApplyToNo.ToString

   Else

      lblResult.Text = “No open items for this customer.”

                    “ . Message: ” + Result.ReturnMsg

End If

AddCashTrx

This method creates one or more pending cash receipts. If this is a web application, you can use this method to allow your users to schedule ACH payments.

Transaction Consolidation
Cash Receipts for ACH may result in duplicate check number. This can happen because ACH check number by default = (Last 4 digits of Check Account Number) + (Last 2 digits of Total ACH payments + 1). For example, a check account ending with ***5720, that has processed 69 payments so far, the next check number assigned will be 572070.  Web services will consolidate duplicate check number for the same receipt date is already on file in the Cash Transaction table (ARCSHTRX).

  • For example, if customer 000001 pays $100.00 on invoice# 123456 on 12/14/20. The check number is sequentially assigned as 572070.
  • Customer 000001 pays $200.00 on invoice 123457 and it is scheduled for 12/31/20. The check number is sequentially assigned as 572070 again because the previous cash receipt had not been posted yet. But that is acceptable because the receipt date is 12/31/20. No consolidation will take place.
  • On the other hand, if customer 0000001 pays $300.00 on invoice 123458 on 12/14/20. If the previous cash transaction was not posted yet, then the check number is sequentially assigned as 572070. This transaction will be consolidated with the previous payment record on 12/14/20 make it total $400 because they fall on the same date.

Usage:

AddCashTrxResult = A.AddCashTrx(UserName, UserPassword, AddCashTrxInput)

CashAccountNo

24

String

24-digit cash account number. If this is not provided, it will default to the default cash account number in Elliott A/R Setup.

BatchID

8

String

Blank BatchID is allowed. If BatchID is provided, this could be a new batch id, or an existing one.  If it is an existing one, the PaymentType must match. We suggest you adopt a convention for Batch ID.  For example, you can use the Payment Type + YYMMDD.  In that case, if this is an ACH batch for 08/19/2015.  The Batch ID will be AC150819.  To schedule an ACH payment in the future, specify the BatchID in YYYYMMDD format.  For example, a BatchID of 20160630 means the ACH payment in this batch will be posted on or after 6/30/2016.

PaymentType

2

String

Default to “CK” if not provided.

CK=Check, CS=Cash, GC=Gift Cert., CC=Credit Card, WR=Wired, AC=ACH.

CustomerNo

ReceiptDate

8

Integer

Default to system date.

ReceiptAmount

7.2

Double

Normally, this value should be greater than zero. However, a negative cash receipt is also supported.

CreditARFlag

1

String

“Y” (Default) or “N.”

CreditAccountNo

24

String

You will be required to provide a valid account if CreditARFlag is set to “N.”

CashACHAcctKey

32

String

This field is required for ACH payment type. This is the ACH Account selected for this cash transaction. You can find a list of ACH accounts for the customer by using the ViewACHAccts method in EliarachService web service.

CashACHReference

30

String

This field is only valid for ACH payment type. As an example, this value can be “AUTHORIZED BY JOE” or “CHECK# 1234.” Depending on Elliott's Global Setup, this field may be required.

AutoApply

1

String

Default “Y” and the CashReceiptApplyTo() will be ignored. This is the case when you let users pay a certain amount and the system automatically applies the outstanding invoice sequentially. If you wish to determine the specific invoice(s) to be paid off, you will set this flag to “N” and provide CashReceiptApplyTo() info.

CashReceiptApplyTo()

 

CashReceiptApplyToForAdd

The elements in this array will only be used if you set AutoApply to “N.” The total AmountApplied must equal the ReceiptAmount. Otherwise, you will get error code 19.

V8.5 and Above: String

The 6 digits apply to must not be fully paid yet. It is possible the ApplyToNo may not exist if (1) Elliott Global Setup allows; or (2) ApplyToAmountApplied is negative, which will result in creating a debit memo (charge back handling.)

ApplyToAmountApplied

Double

This amount will go to A/R Open Item Amount2.

ApplyToAllowAmount

6.2

Double

This amount will go to A/R Open Item Amount2.

ApplyToAllowAcctNo

24

String

If ApplyToAllowAmount is not zero, you can provide the account number here, or leave it blank to use the default allowance account in A/R Setup.

ApplyToReference

30

String

If not provided, this method will create a default value by the following logic.

If payment type is “AC,” and CashACHReference is not empty, it will use the value in CashACHReference. Otherwise it will create a sentence such as “Cust#123456  Check# 123456”

ApplyToOrigInvNo

6

String

This field is only applicable for charge-back situations (i.e., apply-to does not exist, and AmountApplied < zero).
