  2. Click Add.

  3. In the Payment method box, enter a Character for the new payment method.

  4. In the Description box, enter the name of the payment method.

  5. Enter a Short Description for the payment method.

  6. Click the Active check box to make the payment method available for processing.

  7. In the Cash Account boxes, type the General Ledger Cash Account. If your organization uses the full account entry method, you must enter the Full General Ledger Account Number; if your organization uses the org/object account entry method, enter the Org Code, Object Code, and Project Code (if applicable).

  8. Select the Open Cash Drawer check box to direct Munis to open the cash drawer for the current payment method if it is used for payment in the Payment Entry program. Munis does not open the cash drawer for a payment method unless this check box is selected.

  10. Click Accept.
