# Receipt Generation Updates for Invoice and Quick Invoice Forms

## Learn what is changing in receipt generation for Invoice and Quick Invoice Forms, including new receipt details, partial payment visibility, and updated date handling.

#### Overview

Aclarian is introducing updates to the receipt generation process in the **Billing and AR Module** for **Invoice** and **Quick Invoice** Forms.

These changes are designed to make receipts clearer and more informative, especially when partial payments are involved. The updated format gives customers a more transparent view of:

- how much has been paid
- how much remains due
- when payments were recorded
- how prior payments are reflected on the receipt

These updates apply to receipts generated after the enhancement goes live.

#### What is changing?

After a payment is made, users can click **See All Receipts** to open an updated receipts window.

The new popup table will display the following information based on the number of payments made on the Invoice or Quick Invoice:

- **Date Created** – the date and time the receipt was generated
- **Amount Paid** – the total amount applied to the current invoice
- **Remaining Balance** – the amount still owed

This update helps provide a clearer summary of payment activity for invoices with one payment, multiple partial payments, or a final payment.

#### New receipts window

The updated **See All Receipts** window gives users a clearer view of receipt history and payment progress on an invoice.

This allows users to quickly review:

- when receipts were generated
- how much was paid
- whether a balance is still due

This is especially helpful when multiple partial payments have been applied to the same invoice.

#### What the updated receipt includes?

The updated receipt format includes the following sections:

- **Invoice Total** – the original invoice amount
- **Current Payment** – the payment just received, including payment method such as cash, check, credit card, or ACH
- **Prior Payments** – the total amount of earlier payments made toward the invoice
- **Balance Remaining** – the amount still owed
- **Paid in Full** – shown automatically when the remaining balance is zero
- **Partial Payment History Table** – a list of prior payments showing the date, payment method, and amount

This structure gives customers a clearer breakdown of how the invoice balance was reduced over time.

#### How partial payments will appear?

When an invoice has multiple payments, the receipt will now show a clearer payment history.

This includes:

- the most recent payment
- earlier payments already applied
- the remaining balance after the current payment
- a history table showing all partial payments

If the current payment completes the invoice balance, the receipt will show **Paid in Full** automatically.

#### Date handling updates

Several date-related fields have been clarified to ensure receipt data is displayed consistently.

#### Date Created versus Date Received

When selecting **See All Receipts**:

- the **Date Created** column reflects the actual date the receipt was generated
- it does **not** display the payment’s **Date Received**

The **Date Received** should appear only in places where the payment date entered by the user is intended to be shown.

#### Quick Invoice receipt payment date

On a **Quick Invoice** receipt, the **Payment Date** shown at the top of the receipt should always reflect the **Date Received** entered when the payment was recorded.

For example:

- if the payment was entered with a Date Received of **8/25/2025**
- the receipt should display **8/25/2025** as the Payment Date

#### Partial payment history date column

In the partial payment history table, the **Date** column should always pull from the recorded **Date Received**.

For example:

- if the payment was recorded with a Date Received of **8/10/2025**
- that is the date that should display in the payment history table
- even if the receipt itself is generated later, such as **9/15/2025**

> **Important:** The receipt generation date and the recorded payment date serve different purposes and should not be used interchangeably.

#### Invoice item description behavior

The description shown on the receipt depends on what the payment was applied to.

#### If payment is made toward an invoice item

The receipt will display the **invoice item description**.

#### If payment is made toward the full invoice

The receipt will display the **invoice description** instead.

This helps avoid confusion when an invoice includes multiple item descriptions.

#### Who these changes apply to?

These updates apply to:

- **Invoice receipts**
- **Quick Invoice receipts**
- **all payment methods**

These changes are intended for customers making payments:

- by mail
- in person

These updates do **not** apply to:

- billing portal receipts
- billing portal messaging

#### Key notes

- Applies to **Invoice** and **Quick Invoice** receipts only
- Covers **all payment methods**
- Applies only to **new receipts generated after the update**
- Does **not** change past invoices or previously generated receipts
- Does **not** affect billing portal receipts or billing portal messaging

#### Summary

These receipt generation updates are designed to make payment receipts more transparent and easier to understand.

With the new format, users can more easily see:

- the original invoice total
- the current payment amount
- prior payments
- the remaining balance
- whether the invoice has been paid in full
- the correct payment and receipt dates

These improvements support clearer customer communication and more accurate payment reconciliation.
