## Messages that block saving

| Message | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| مطلوب (shown in Arabic) | No receiving **Account** is chosen in **Main information**. | Open **Account** and pick the cash or bank account. |
| Select account | The voucher has no lines, or a line has no account. | Add at least one account with **Add account**, and set the account on every line. |

## Advanced details

### Receiving money from a customer

Each customer has an account in the chart of accounts. Pick it in the **Add accounts** window to make it the voucher's line.

Faster: open the customer's page and choose **Quick actions**, then **Receipt voucher**. The voucher opens with the customer's account on the first line.

This option shows to users allowed to create receipt vouchers, for a customer who has an account. The [customer statement](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/customer-statement) shows the balance.

### Attach the voucher to a branch

The **Branch** (Optional) field below **Account** ties the voucher to a branch, so it appears in accounting reports filtered by that branch. It starts on your user's branch, if any.

To add branches: [add a branch](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/add-branch).

### A reference on a line

From the **Actions** button on a line, choose **Reference** and type a transfer or check number, for example. It shows under the account name.

The same menu has **Remove line** to delete a line you don't want.

### Description and attachments

In **Notes and attachments**, you write the **Description** and attach files, such as a photo of the transfer.

### After saving: edit, print and the entry

The voucher page opens. From it you print with **Print**, edit with **Update receipt voucher**, or open **Accounting operations** to see the entry it posted.

The entry: the receiving account is debited with the voucher total, and each line's amount is credited to its account.

You can also delete the voucher from the bottom of its page, if you have delete permission.

The customer's balance after the voucher shows in the [customer statement](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/customer-statement). A voucher that repeats every month is set up in [recurring entries](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/recurring-journal-entries).

### Keyboard shortcuts

The keyboard cuts the most repeated steps:

- `Alt + N` on the voucher list: **Create receipt voucher**.
- `Ctrl + S` (`⌘ + S` on Mac): **Save**.
- The command palette, `Ctrl + K`: type “Create receipt voucher” from any screen.

### No Create receipt voucher button?

The button shows only to users allowed to create receipt vouchers. Ask your Snad account admin to grant it in [roles and permissions](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/roles-permissions).

If you see “This app is not included in your plan”, Accounting is outside your current [plan](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/manage-subscription).

## Common questions

### How do I make a receipt voucher in Snad?

Open **Accounting**, then **Receipt voucher**, and press **Create receipt voucher**. Pick the receiving **Account**, add the paying accounts, enter the amounts, then press **Save**.

### What is the difference between a receipt voucher and a payment voucher?

A receipt voucher is for money coming in, and it debits the receiving account. A payment voucher is for money going out ([create a payment voucher](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/create-payment-voucher)).

Yes. Add one account per line with **Add account** and enter each line's amount. The **Total** is their sum.

### Can I edit a receipt voucher after saving it?

Yes, from the voucher page with **Update receipt voucher**, if you have edit permission. You can delete it too, with delete permission.

### Where do I see the voucher's accounting entry?

On the saved voucher's page, press **Accounting operations** to see the accounts and the debit and credit amounts.
