When a customer pays their account, the account receivable department needs to put the amount of the payment into the computer. A receipt should also be sent to the customer.
When a customer pays on an account it needs to be documented immediately and if paying in person a receipt of payments needs to be given to the person who is paying.
I'm not sure if I have the question correct. However, I will answer it with what I believe you are asking.If a customer pays a business money to be applied to their account the transaction in the journal is simple.Since you are receiving money (cash) you will debit cash for the amount of payment.Since the customer is paying on money they already owe on account you will credit their Account Receivable for the same amount.In other words, Bob owes Systems Inc. $5,000 and decides to pay $500 towards the accountCash (debit) $500 (this increases your cash by that amount)Account Rec.-Bob (credit) $500 (this will reduce the amount he owes the company)
