- Paid Amount – this is the amount that was paid against the receipt, it must be a number to a maximum of two decimal places and not include the currency symbol– i.e. “10.99”.
Optional Fields
The other optional fields you can have are listed below, along with a description, how it should be formatted and example text:
- Paid Account – this is the nominal code of the bank account that the payment was paid from, the nominal code is available in your Chart of Accounts – i.e. “1201”.
