In Enrollsy, it is best when making a payment for a Customer, that you pay an Invoice, if possible, instead of making a payment that is not connected to an Invoice. If you do make a custom payment that is not on an Invoice, the payment will get attached automatically to the next Invoice due.

Invoices vs. Transactions

If there are no Invoices on the Billing page, the charges were probably entered as transactions instead of Invoices. To remedy this, do the following:

  1. Delete the transactions/charges

  2. On the correct Program/Class, select "Add Current Invoice"

  3. Enter the total charge/Charge Items and amount

  4. Click "Create"

  5. You will be redirected to the Invoice Details page, where you can post the payment

There are several ways to find a Customer's Invoice:

Invoices Page

Head to the Invoices page on the left menu. First, find the Invoice in question. Here's how to do that:

Step 1 - Location

Click on the correct Location (top-right corner):

Step 2 - Choose Dates

Choose the date range:

Step 3 - Select Invoices

Select one of the following options: "Current Invoices," "Paid Invoices," or "Future Invoices":

Step 4 - Filter (optional)

Click "Filters" and filter by the following:

  • Payment Plan

  • Primary Account Holder

  • Charges

  • Discounts

Click "Apply" to apply the filter.

Customer's Billing Page

Step 1 - Search for the Account

Search for either the Primary Account Holder or Enrollee in the top search bar.

Step 2 - Select Invoices

On the Billing tab, select one of the following options: "Current Invoices," "Paid Invoices," or "Future Invoices." Click "Manage" to view the details of the Invoice.



Post Payment to Invoice

After finding the Invoice you need to pay, follow these steps to pay the Invoice on the Invoices page or the Customer's billing page.

Step 1 - Edit Invoice

Click on "Edit" on the right side of the correct Invoice.

Step 2 - Open the Post Transaction window

A new window will appear with the Invoice Details. Click the blue plus button to open up the Post Transaction window.

Step 3 - Post Payment

In the Post Transaction window, choose "Post Payment. "

Scroll down, and enter the total payment amount and the payment method.

Step 4 - Print Receipt/Post

Select "Print Receipt" if you want to print out a receipt (or print to PDF). Then click Post to post the payment.

Collect Payment

You can also use the Post Transaction button found in these two places:

  • Post Transaction button ("+" button beside "Invoices" on left menu)

  • Post Credits button inside an Invoice

This option still allows you to pay an Invoice as well as post a payment to the Account (for future Invoices). The steps show how to post a payment to one or more Invoices.

Step 1 - Collect Payment Option

After clicking "Post Transaction," select the "Collect Payment" option.

Step 2 - Search Account

If you are already on the Customer's account, their name will autopopulate. If you are not and click the Plus sign beside "Invoices" in the left menu, you will need to search for the Account in the search bar.

Step 3 - Collect Payment Amount

In this section, you have three options:

  • Pay the Account Balance

  • Pay specific Invoices

  • Pay a Custom Amount

Choose one of the options. When choosing "Specific Invoices," select one or more of the Invoices shown.

Step 4 - Setup Payment

The last step is to select "Post" to post the payment. All payments can be viewed on the Account Holder's Billing page under "Transaction History." See this support article for how to read the Transaction History.

Here, you can do the following:

  • Change the Classification

  • Add comments (public or private)

  • Choose the payer

  • Select the payment method

  • Print a receipt

The final step is to click "Post Payment" and you're done!
