Payment Methods

The Payment Methods Code Table is used for setting up various forms of payment types. Such as credit cards, cash, debit, cheque, other, etc. The result value is the full description of the payment type. The lookup value is the abbreviated form that is found throughout Theatre Manager. The account column displays the GL accounts that revenue for a particular membership is sent to. The description column describes the GL account.

The result values of American Express, Diners Card, MasterCard, Discover Card, and Visa Card should be associated with the corresponding lookup values of AMEX, DINER, MCARD, DISCR, and VISA. This will ensure that Theatre Manager validates for the required number of numbers, and have the correct numeric algorithm. An error message is displayed if the numbers are not entered correctly, as this will assist in payments entered incorrectly. If the lookup values for these card types are changed, this verification does not occur. Other card types do not have automated edits.
