How To

In order to process financial transactions including receipts and payments within LEAP, you will need to set up default Office and Client Funds accounts within the LEAP Application Settings.

The office account must be set up in LEAP and QuickBooks/Xero, while the client funds account is set up in LEAP only. It is possible to have multiple office or client funds accounts within LEAP. However, there must be a default account for both the office and client funds accounts. If you need to change from the default account to another account, this is done at the time of creating a payment or receipt.
