Entry tab

Use this tab to enter receipts and adjustments into DT Practice. This tab consists of a
Control Date
field and Receipts and Adjustments subtabs. If your firm uses approval and posting, this tab will also feature display-only checkboxes indicating whether an item has been approved or posted, and a Journal button that enables you to preview and print a journal of items for the current control date.

Receipts subtab

Use the Receipts subtab to enter payments received from your firm’s clients. This subtab consists of a data-entry grid and a panel that displays the client and A/R balance.

Adjustments subtab

Use the Adjustments subtab to enter any adjustments to your clients’ A/R balances. This subtab consists of a data-entry grid and a panel that displays the client and A/R balance.

Overview tab

Use this tab to view both receipts and adjustments on a single screen.
This tab consists of a
Filter by
list that enables you to filter by any field in the data-entry grid or to use saved filters, plus a data-entry grid similar to those used for entering receipts and adjustments, except that it includes the
Bank Account
and
Control Date
fields so that entries for multiple bank accounts and on multiple dates can be shown and entered in a single grid.
If you select a field in the
Filter by
list, a
Method
list appears, which enables you to choose additional options for filtering by that field.

Review tab

Use the Review tab to approve and post receipts and adjustments. This tab will only appear if your firm uses the approval process, and consists of a
Filter by
list (and, if applicable, a
Method
list) as in the Overview tab, plus
Unapproved only
and
Unposted only
checkboxes that enable you to narrow your view, and a grid displaying receipts and adjustments awaiting approval and/or posting.
note
You cannot enter or edit receipts and adjustments in this tab.
