Call up the customer in question.
Go to the Payments tab of the invoice and choose On Account.
[You may need to create an account for the customer at this point.]
Enter amount they owe you, as below, where the customer owes $100:

2/ To add debits to their account, reverse the figures – i.e. place a negative amount on the Payment

Then a positive amount On Account and negative Cash on the Payments tab.
Category: Accounts
Clearing accounts:
Create a:
•Stock item
•Stock type
•Profit center
called ‘Account Write Off’ or similar.
“Sell” the ‘Account Write Off’item to the customer and put the value in the Unit Price to equal the amount you need to put back on to the customer’s account. On the Payments tab use the On Account payment
method.
The ‘Account Write Off’ stock item should have a Stock Type whose Profit Center is marked as “Appear in Profit Center Breakdown Report’s Memo section”. This makes it obvious on reports that it was not a “Sale”.
For customers who “owe” you:
Then create a new invoice and sell the ‘Account Write Off’ item for negative the amount on their account
Use the On Account payment method and Save
EVE will decrement their account and you will see the ‘Account Write Off’ figure in the memo section on your Profit Center report so you know where the money went.
For customers you “owe”:
Then create a new invoice and sell the Account Write Off item or positive the amount on their account.

Go to Tools / Options / All PCs

Open a new invoice.
Go the Unpaid Invoices tab.

At the bottom of the Till Reconciliation report you can already see the payments that went On Account in any period, as below:
FAQAccount6.1
Please note that clicking Forward will reveal pictures accurately if they don’t display properly here.
You might also wish to add an Account Payments text box and Account Payments label, as below:
FAQAccount6.2
To the Till Rec print layout so that you can see these for any period.
To do that go to Tool / Print Layouts and open the Sales Reports – Till Reconciliation Report and then click on the Label box on the toolbox on the left:
FAQAccount6.3
and add that to the layout under the Other Payment Methods Footer.
Then add a text box and enter AccountPayments as the text for that (note there is no space in that text).
You’ll then have the info you need on any Till Rec report over any period as you see fit.

Payments “On Account” in EVE terms are when a customer buys goods and the total is placed on their account balance.
“Account Payments” in EVE are when a customer pays off part of that account.
1/ You’ll be able to see all “On Account” payment methods on the Till Reconciliation report accessed from File/Reports/Sales. You can run this over any time period you wish.
2/ If you wish to add a Note to this report showing which of the cash/check/credit card payments were actually Account Payments then you can do so.
To show the account payment amount on the Till Reconciliation report, open the ‘Sales Reports – Till Reconciliation’ report layout (by clicking Tools then Print Layouts)
Add a Label called ‘Account Payments’ and a TextBox called ‘AccountPayments’ to the Report Footer section – see below.
The easiest way to do this is to copy and paste the Sub-Total label and then copy and paste the SubTotal2 TextBox.
Then right click on each new field and ‘Rename’.

  6. Check the Show Card Details Prompt box
  7. Check the Allow Credit Card Transmission box. These 3 boxes must be checked
  8. Save the settings

  1. Click on Payments
  2. Click on Credit Card
  3. By default, Genius will be selected. You can choose your preferred method. Use TransportWeb if the card is not present (e.g. you are processing a transaction over the phone).If you choose Transport Web, then form A

Each PC that you run EVE on is associated with a Store. When you install EVE, one Store record and one PC record is automatically created on the EVE database and the PC is linked to the Store. You will have entered information about the Store on the Welcome screen when EVE was first run. EVE gathers information about the PC – i.e. the name of the PC – at the same time and creates the PC record for you. When you use subsequent PCs to run EVE on a network, if you have one, EVE automatically creates a PC record for each and each is automatically linked by EVE to the same Store record. Each Store record and each PC record (in fact practically every record) in EVE has a number, automatically assigned by EVE, that uniquely identifies it and that will not change for the lifetime of the record.I.e. the initial Store record has an ID value of 1. The initial PC record also has an ID value of 1, th e second has an ID value of 2, etc. Each time EVE starts, it examines the PC it is running on to find the name of the PC. Once it has that, it knows which Store it is linked to. During day-to-day data entry, whenever a Customer or an Invoice or a PO, etc is created, the Store ID of the PC on which it was entered is written to the Customer/Invoice/ PO/etc. This doesn’t affect you if you only have one Store, but is important as multiple stores are added to the database. I.e. it means that later, you can run reports or searches to find which information was entered at which store – for instance, you can run your Closing reports at the end of day to show items sold and payments taken, etc. at each store. It also means that you can keep inventory levels separate for each store, and can assign Employees to work at particular store(s), etc. You can create multiple Store records in the Data section by clicking the Stores: New button. It usually only makes sense to do this if your EVE database is located on a central server that is accessible over the Internet from multiple locations. The form below is displayed so you can enter information about the store, including address, phone number(s), etc.
FAQSSO2.1
You won’t usually need to manually create PC records since, as described above, EVE will create PC records for you when a PC is used to run EVE for the first time. However, if you need to create a new PC record for any reason, you can do so in the Data section by clicking the PCs: New button. The form below is displayed:
FAQSSO2.2
You may sometimes want to edit existing PC record(s) to set specific parameters for it – e.g. to indicate there is a cash drawer attached to it, etc. Notice in the screenshot above, that there is a field to indicate which Store the PC is in. If you move a PC from one store to another, you can change the Store here.
Multiple Stores
EVE has an extremely flexible means of handling multiple stores. It can be configured to run in one of 3 ‘Views’:
1.Compound Store
2.This Store Only
3.Default Store
You can change which View is active by clicking on the Store View link at the bottom right of the main EVE screen. You will probably want to decide which View best suits your enterprise and stick with that View during day-to-day operation. Which View is active has no effect on the way that data is saved in EVE – i.e. the Store ID is written to new Customers, Invoices, POs, etc. regardless of which View is active. However, the View does have an effect on which data can be viewed later. You can set the Store View that each PC will use by default on the PC form – see above
Compound Store
When the Compound Store View is active, all data can be viewed at all stores regardless of which store it was entered at. E.g. if you enter a customer or an invoice, etc at Store 1 it can be viewed at Store 2 and Store 3.
This Store Only
When the This Store Only View is active, data can only be viewed if it was
entered at the store you are in – or more specifically, if it was entered at the same store that the PC you are using is in. An invoice entered at Store 1 is only visible later at Store 1.
Default Store
The Default Store View lets you define specifically which data is viewable at which store. There are 2 categories of data in EVE that are important when discussing Default Store.
1.Courses, Customers, Gift Cards, Gift Certificates, Invoices, Label Queue Entries, PCs, Purchase Orders, Quotes, Rental Bookings, Serial Numbers, Service Bookings, Special Orders, Tasks, Trips, Vouchers
2.Boats, Certifying Agencies, Clubs, Cost Centers, Course Types, Customer Types, Denominations, Destinations, Employees, Equipment Items, Hotels, Inventory Locations, Locations, Mailing Lists, Club Membership Types, Payment Methods, Profit Centers, Enquiry Sources, Special Interests, Stock Items, Stock Types, Suppliers and Tax Bands.
Category 2 Data
You have fine control over records that are in Category 2. For instance with Stock Types, you could indicate that Surf Boards and Kayaks are sold at Stores 1 and 2 but not at Store 3, while Regulators and Wet Suits are sold at all Stores, etc. Similarly, with Payment Methods, you could indicate that Cash is accepted at all Stores but Amex is only accepted at Stores 2 and 3, etc. When you open a Category 2, record you will see there is a Tab on the form called ‘Stores’ that contains a list of all Stores on the database. You can put a check mark next to each St ore at which the record is applicable.
FAQSSO2.3
If you prefer, you can approach this from the other angle and look at the Data2 Tab on the Store form – see below.
FAQSSO2.4
Category 1 Data
Data in Category 1 works slightly differently since it is not feasible, for instance, to define that Invoice #3423 is visible at store 1 but not store 2, etc while Invoice #3424 is visible at stores 2 and 3, etc. It would take too much time and effort. Instead, you can indicate, for instance, that all Invoices created at Store 1 can be viewed at Store 1 and Store 2 but not at Store 3. Or that all Courses entered at Store 1 can only be viewed at Store 1 but all Courses entered at Store 2 can be viewed at Stores 2 and 3, etc. Use the Data tab on the Store form to define your settings. In the diagram below, the Scubadoos Dive Academy St ore record has been opened. Courses created at Scubadoos can be viewed at all Stores, whilst Gift Cards and Gift Certificates created at Scubadoos can only be used at Scubadoos.

2 stock items should be created.
One (the pack or multiple) for use with Purchases.
One (the individual) for Sale
Taking a length of rope as an example:-
So, first should be the full roll of rope at whatever length you might buy it in.
This should be marked on the Stock Levels tab as For PO:
FAQStockInv7.1
Please note that clicking Forward will reveal pictures accurately if they don’t display properly here.
And should be the one used to order the rope.
The second should be the rope in the smallest increment they sell it in, whether ½ metre or 1 metre, say.
This should be marked as Maintain Stock Level but not For PO:
FAQStockInv7.2
Flow is as follows:
1/ Order full roll of rope
2/ Check in rope when it arrives.
3/ Manually decrement the full roll by the number ordered. So, if ordered 2 rolls reduce no. in stock of full rolls by 2.
4/ Manually increment no. in stock of partial (e.g. ½ metre rope) stock item by whatever, in this example, is the length of 2 rolls of rope.
5/ Sell the ½ metre stock item to customers. Clearly, if the customer wants 20 metres, you sell 40 of this stock item.
6/ EVE will track sales of this stock item. When this ½ metre stock item reaches low level, reorder the full stock item and repeat the process.
(For profit and COGS sold report, the ½ metre stock item should have a cost price entered of whatever is the fraction of the overall cost that is the ½ metre proportion.)

You’ll be able to import from Excel into EVE by using the Excel import templates that are provided within the program. Using Customers as an example to serve for all: You can access these by going to, from the top menu in EVE, File / Import and then select Import from Excel and click Import
FAQStockInv1.1
Please note that clicking Forward will reveal pictures accurately if they don’t display properly here
Highlighting Customers and then clicking the Show Template button
FAQStockInv1.2
Will open Excel and that template.
These templates are, by default, contained within C:\Program Files\Integrated ScubaSystems\EVE\Import The key on the import is the structure of the Excel file – please do not change the titles of
the columns.
Mandatory data fields have red column titles – optional are coloured black.
FAQStockInv1.3
Once your existing data is in the correct format you can then select the
Save As option and name the file as you wish.
Please note: we recommend you take a backup of your EVE database prior to import.
You can then import your data by going, again, to File / Import
from the top menu and then Import from Excel again and then highlight the data type – Customers, Suppliers etc. – and then select Import
FAQStockInv1.4
By default this will open the Import folder previously mentioned though you can, of course, navigate to any other location where you have saved your Excel files.
You’ll find the process relatively simple.
You can download a video outlining the process at http://eve.issys.co.uk/files/EVE5Tutorials/EVE5-SimpleImport.exe

You can import stock and inventory data from Microsoft Excel into EVE.
From the top menu in EVE go to File / Import then check the Import from Excel box and click on Import where you will then see:
FAQStockInv2.1
You must ensure that the data in your Microsoft Excel spreadsheet is in the correct format before attempting to import it. A Microsoft Excel template (containing some example data) for is provided in the EVE import folder (C:\Program files\Integrated Scuba Systems\Import). You can view the template by clicking the Show Template button. The first row of each template contains column headers. Your file does not need to include all columns listed in the template. However, if your file does include a listed column, the column header in your file must exactly match the column header in the template (for example, your column containing the item description must have the text ‘Description’ in the first row).Columns in your file do not need to be in the same position as in the template. Before importing, EVE scans your file and locates the positions of each column based on the text in the f irst row. Some columns are mandatory and these columns are identified with a red header name. These are:
Description
StockNo
Manufacturer
StockType
Any row containing data in these columns will be im ported into EVE, regardless of whether there is any data in any of the other columns. Each row (after the header row) in your Microsoft Excel spreadsheet corresponds to one record to be imported. Each column in your Microso ft Excel spreadsheet corresponds to one attribute of the record (for example,Description, Manufacturer etc.). EVE will continue to import data until it encounters 10 consecutive blank rows. This means you can have a few blank rows in your file and EVE will just skip those rows and continue.
Once it has successfully imported a row, EVE writes an X to the first column of that row. This is so that if the import process is interrupted, it can be resumed at a later date from where it left off. All rows containing an X in the first column are skipped so the same data is not imported more than once. Be careful to ensure that the first column is blank before you start the process. It does not matter what the column header is. Column A therefore should be blank in the data file. The level of additional detail displayed may be decided by the Manufacturer in the case of those price lists supplied directly by the Manufacturer. Please ensure that you have the correct Cost Price Level indicated in EVE for any supplier prior to import. You’ll find this area in Inventory / Suppliers / Find and then
Search for the relevant supplier
Then go to the Details tab of the supplier record and enter the Cost Price Level – whether 1,2,3, etc. as appropriate. The Cost Price Level that you wish EVE to use by default should be set to the same as the appropriate Cost Price Level in the spreadsheet.
EVE allocates the Purchase Tax Band at the Stock Type level. You may wish to check that the Stock Types you have in EVE are associated with the correct Tax Band prior to Import. You can find this area in Inventory / Stock Types / Find and then Search for the appropriate stock type(s).
Handling Duplicates
You may encounter duplicates when importing data. Some types of data in EVE require that each record has one or more unique fields. For example, Stock Items must have a unique stock number and a unique barcode number – the stock number of an item must be different than the stock number of all other items and the barcode number must be different than the barcode number of all other items. If you try to import a record into EVE that would violate the uniqueness requirements, EVE will prompt you how you want to continue. In the figure below, a stock item record is being imported that has the same stock number as an existing item. You must tell EVE how to continue by choosing an option in the action section and optionally changing the value in one or more of the white fields. You can scroll down to see all fields on the original and import row.
FAQStockInv2.2
Click Overwrite if you want to overwrite the existing record with data on the import record. You must decide what you want to happen if there is no data in a particular column on the import row. You can choose to update the corresponding column on the existing record to be blank or you can choose to leave the existing column alone.
The decision you make may depend on the circumstances: for instance, if you are importing a supplier stock list to update prices on Stock Items from that supplier, you will probably leave the No In Stock column blank on all rows in the import file. In this case you will not want to update the No In Stock on all existing records as this would wipe out all your stock levels.
Not all columns have the option of being handled th is way. For instance, columns that are mandatory can never have a blank value on the import record. EVE will put an icon next to column names for which this handling is valid beneath the query symbol. By default, the icon will be implying that the existing value will be left unchanged if the import value is blank. Click on the tick to change it if you want the existing value to be blanked out if the import value is blank.
When doing a stock item import it is possible that the record being imported has the same Stock No as one existing record and the same Barcode No as a different existing record. In this case, EVE will report that duplication errors have occurred on both stock # and barcode # and it will present both existing records to you as well as the import record (there will be two icons next to the existing item text showing a one and a two. Click on each icon to show the corresponding existing record). Be carefu l when handling this case – you will need to choose carefully whether you want to update the existing record(s) and/or the import record before resolving the duplicates.
Click Retry if you want to instruct EVE to try again to import the same record. There is no point in doing this unless you have made a change to the data in one of the white text boxes of the import item. For example, you could change the stock # so that it is no longer the same as any existing stock #s.
Click New if you want to instruct EVE to create a new record. Again, there is no point in doing this unless you have made a change to the data in one of the white text boxes of the import item – otherwise you will simply get another duplication error.
Click Abort to abandon the import process. All data already i mported will remain on the database.

Barcode scanners must be keyboard wedge scanners in design – i.e. it simulates the action of entering data via a keyboard – though connection, can, of course, be vi a USB port or wirelessly.
If possible, we recommend purchasing a scanner that can be programmed with an F9 prefix (i.e. when you scan a barcode, an F9 is appended to the start of the barcode information before it is sent to EVE) – as then EVE will set focus to the Barcode field on the Invoice automatic ally.
Metrologic Voyager scanners – principally the MS9520/40 VoyagerCG – are used by many centres. You can see more on these at www.metrologic.com
