Rent Receivables Entry

[oztheguitarman]

5th June, 08

We are using PC version 9.

We have received rent for $ 1750.00 for the month of April as follows :

a) $ 1600.00 in cash on 12th April 2008 deposited in the bank.
b) Balance $ 150.00 by cheque on 20th April 2008

$ 150.00 cheque was deposited on 3rd May but bank returned cheque on 8th May as " NSF "

c) The renter then paid us $ 150.00 in cash which was deposited on 1st June 2008.

None of the above entries have been processed so far through Fund
Accounting.

The month of May has not been closed yet.

Can someone please give me step by step instructions on how to
process above rent payment which is actually for the month of
April.

I believe I can still open the month of April.

Please advise

Thanks
