## How to record a manual collection in Plexflow

A **manual collection** is a payment recorded **outside Plexflow’s electronic system**.
This includes, for example, payments received in **cash**, **cheque**, **Interac e-Transfer**, or any other method other than PAD.

### Step 1 – Open the unit in question

Go to the **Properties** tab, then open the **unit** record where you want to record the payment.

### Step 2 – Open upcoming rent

In the **Upcoming Invoices** section, click the **Collect** **button** to the right of the payment you want.

### Step 3 – Enter the payment details

A window opens so you can enter the following information:

- 💰 **Amount** received
- 📅 **Date** of the payment
- 📝 **Note** (e.g. **Cheque #1025** or **Interac e-Transfer of October 5**)
- 💳 **Payment Method**: select **Cheque**, **Cash**, **E-Transfer**, **Bank transfer**, or **Other**

Then click **Submit** to confirm the collection.

### Step 4 – Check the collection

Once the collection has been recorded:

- The **amount will no longer be shown as overdue** in the **Upcoming Invoices** section
- An **invoice will be generated automatically** in the **Invoices** section
