MODACC - ACCOUNTING Ó UNCTAD – SITE (V1.15) 4.12 Validating the payment After  entering  the  details  of  the  payment,  select  ‘Local  Menu’,  ‘Action’  for  a  system  check  of  the payment  detail.  You  must   ‘Validate’  the  payment  to  record  the  payment  transaction  within  the system. See  Local Menu Action. Payments for Credit Declarations For details on taking cash payments in settlement of deferred payment (Credit Account) facilities, see Credit. Payments into Pre-Payment accounts For details on received cash payments into Pre-Payment accounts, see Pre-Payment. Payments out Payments out can be made using the Accounts module for refunds on overpayments due to errors on  declarations.  It  also  allows  refunds  of  Pre-Payment  deposits,  return  of  cash  securities  and payments of other non-declaration amounts. In the case of declarations, payments out occur whenever a Post-entry identifies an overpayment on the original declaration. The ‘Payments out’ sub-menu is similar to the ‘Payments in’ sub-menu. Debiting Account Excess  amounts,  held  in  Pre-Payment  accounts,  can  be  returned  to  the  depositor  through  a 'Payment out' option. See  Debit Pre-Payment Account . Miscellaneous The menu option  ‘Payments out: Miscellaneous’  is used to make non-declaration payments, i.e., the   ’miscellaneous’   payments.   These   payments   are   made   from   whichever   account   code   is appropriate.  The  Miscellaneous  payment  option  displays  the  ‘Other  Payments  Out  -  Cash  Entry Form’. This is the same as the form displayed by the  ‘Payments in: Miscellaneous’  menu option. The Layout of the Receipt on the screen The  ‘Other  Payments  Out  -  Cash  Entry  Form’  looks  the  same  as  the  ‘Payments  in’  screen.  See Miscellaneous Payments for an explanation of the data fields. The   standard   receipt   print   (as   provided   by   UNCTAD)   also   has   provision   for   a   signature   to acknowledge receiving the payment, i.e. I the undersigned ************ acknowledge having received from the Airport office of Customs the sum **.** $. At Airport office       date **/**/**** Processing Payments out (Miscellaneous) The procedure is similar to ‘Payments in’, ‘Miscellaneous’. See Miscellaneous Payments.
