Create a Trust Receipt

To create a Trust Receipt:

1. Select the Create button, then select Trust Record.

2. Select Receipt from the list of options.

3. Enter the Trust Receipt's details as needed in the window that opens.
   1. Select a Trust Account from the dropdown menu and enter the Amount to be allocated. (If only one Trust Account has been set up in mattero, it will automatically fill this field.)
      
      
   2. Enter the name of the person the Amount was received from (this person must be listed as a Contact in mattero; if they are not listed, select Create New Contact and save their details to mattero).
      
      
   3. Select a Date of Receipt, select the type of payment (Media Type), then select a Clearance Date (depending on the Media Type, this will automatically fill, but can still be edited).
      
      
   4. Select Download Receipt after Save to download a copy of the Receipt as needed.
      
      
   5. Finally, allocate the Amount to a Matter; if there are multiple Matter allocations for this Amount, select New Allocation and select additional Matters as needed.
      
      Please note, the total Amounts of all allocated Matters must equal the Amount to be allocated. Also, a Matter can be removed from the receipt by selecting its Delete () icon.
      
      
   6. Enter a description of the allocations as needed.
      
      
   7. When all information is entered, select Save. 

Please note, the Trust Receipt template is automatically published on creation. Also, if Download Receipt after Save was selected, a PDF file of the Receipt will automatically download.

Once saved, the Trust Record can be viewed by selecting the Trust tab in the relevant Matter. To download a PDF file of the Receipt, select the Actions menu, then select Download Receipt.

The Trust Record can also be viewed by selecting the Trust icon from the sidebar, and then selecting the Trust Ledger tab.

To download a PDF file of the Receipt, select the Actions menu, then select Download Receipt.

Alternatively, to download all Trust records, select Bulk Actions, then select Export All.
