Adding a Debtor

Why Debtors?

When you receive and receipt money from an individual or a business which is not a member of your organisation then you probably do not want them in your Member List. Instead you can add the individual or business into your database as a Debtor.

The only mandatory fields you are required to provide to create a Debtor is the Last or Surname field. You do not need to store any other details however if you wish to email a receipt to the debtor then you will need to enter an email address.

An example of a Debtor is your financial institution so that you can receipt Interest received. Another use is if you are receipting deposits of say Class money and you do not wish to record those payments against the individual Tutor who deposits the money as it is not really related to tutor's personal membership you can then create a debtor called for example Class Fees. Using this method all Class Fees can be receipted as a bulk amount but still be individually accounted for as Line Items on the same receipt.
