The below article outlines the best practices for handling AR & AP items that are occurring outside of FINSYNC.
If you pay a bill outside of FINSYNC or receive payment for an invoice outside of FINSYNC you'll want to match the payment to the AR/AP item for good record keeping. To perform this process, follow the steps outlined below:
Invoices - After Depositing the Payment (Cash or Check)
1. Hover over the Banking menu and click the designated account where the transaction is located:
2. Locate the row of the specific transaction. Hover over the Ellipses (three vertical dots) on the far right of the transaction and click Apply to Receivable.
3. You will be redirected away to a table containing all unpaid invoices (AR items). You will need to find the correct Invoice and select it by checking the box in the left column.
Note: If the amount matches perfectly, you'll see $0.00 left next to Match.
4. When you have ensured that the proper transaction has been selected, click Match. After doing so you will automatically be taken back to the banking page. The general ledger account for that transaction will now be designated as a Receivable. Clicking on that transaction will expand it to show the matching Invoice Number. You can click the red 
icon to un-match the transaction if you picked the wrong item.
