Resolution

Munis usually recommends creating a new Category 02 - Miscellaneous. Cash Receipt in a non-live environment. In order to generate a Category 02 - Miscellaneous Cash Receipt Munis recommends confirming a prerequisite to make sure the rctms40 data file is properly extracted from Munis. Please confirm in Accounts Receivable Settings - Cat Specific for Category 02 Misc Cash Receipts that the receipt format is set to either rctms40 or rctms40a.
