Trisha:
when posting should i be using the date of the check as date of payment or the date the payment is entered.

Thank you!

Michele:
I personally use the date I am entering the payment, but you just need to decide how you are going to do it, then be consistent.

I use the date payment is posted because the date the check was written really isn't efficient.. you know people back date checks to make it look like they paid on time and of course many will also put wrong date by accident. The date posted also shows you received it and is more accurate for reporting purposes.

Hello Trisha,

I use the date the check was write up on the deposit ticket.  For example, if a was check rec'd and posted on the deposit on Tuesday and Im just entering it into the system today, I use Tuesday date because I want the collections report and deposit tickets to balance.  I do it this way to keep track of daily deposit ticket//total and for future reference purposes.  The day sheet will not balance but all the other reports will.   

For any electronic ra's, I use the date on the electronic remittance advice.  Much easier for me to go back and research that way.

I hope this helps,,

I use the date that I am posting. Are you in-house or working on your own.
