Receipts

The Receipts tab in ESMERES CLOUD is designed to log all funds received into your business's bank or cash accounts. This includes payments from customers, refunds from suppliers, interest income, and any other inflows of money.

Recording a New Receipt

To record a new receipt manually, click the New Receipt button within the Receipts tab.

However, there's no need to manually create new receipts for every transaction. A more efficient method is to import your bank statements, which will automatically generate new Payments and Receipts based on the transactions in your statement.
