Accounts Receivable - Cash Codes

A Cash Code defines a payment type. For example, cash, A/R (dealership credit) or credit card. You input cash codes at the time of invoicing to identify the payment type. You can also configure A/R Agency on the Cash Codes screen, however only certain cash codes can be associated with an A/R Agency.

This setting is only accessible on cash code 1.

Use a vendor number which is not one of the common parts lines carried by your dealership. If the vendor number entered here is used for a majority of parts in the system, it could prove difficult to detect a wrong vendor number on a quick added part. Users in the Parts Department should also be trained to watch the vendor numbers being used on quick added parts.

Charge Type Defines the type of Agency code configured. The agency could be used for a third-party credit card company or manufacturer card, or it might be for Accounts Receivable or other dealer-specific charge types.
Invoice Description Defines how charges using this cash code should print on invoices.
Merchant Vendor Merchant Number or ID where applicable.
Primary Phone The merchant's primary phone number for contacting
Credit Card Print Format

Defines the format of if and how a related card number should print. Valid values are:

  • X—an X is printed in place of the card character at that position.

  • Y—the card character at that position is printed.

  • N—nothing is printed.

Some agencies may have a hard-coded print format that ignore this configuration.

This field is 19 characters long. If the card's number is shorter, you must left justify the format by padding the right side out so that the required characters are shown.

For example, take a 16-digit card:
1111 2222 3333 4567

If you use this format: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXPPPP

The result is: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX7

Instead, to show the last 4 digits use: XXXXXXXXXXXXPPPPXXX

Which results in: XXXXXXXXXXXX4567

Versapay Gateway These values must be obtained from Versapay.
