Use this screen to create reports that contain invoice and cash receipt activity based on selection criteria that you specify. Outstanding invoices and selected cash receipts, as well as finance charges can display by any of the following means: customer account, project, customer type, project type, account, organization, customer name, and project manager.
Two reports will print during this process: the A/R History Report and the Finance Charge Receipts Supplemental Report.
The A/R History Report screen consists of four blocks that can be used as follows:
Use the Identification block to enter a parameter ID and description.
Use the Selection Ranges block to specify the grouping, invoice number, cash receipt as well as the fiscal years, periods, and subperiods that will appear on the report.
Use the Options block to specify the account, organization, and project levels that will appear on the report. You can also specify the currency and whether the following will appear on the report: functional currency detail, progress payment bills, and finance charges.
Use the Sort By block to specify how the report will be organized.
You will normally use this screen after posting all of the cash receipts and billings for an accounting period. It does not show invoices or cash receipts that have not been posted.
You will not be able to limit the level of the projects printed on the report unless you are selecting "Project" as your selection range. If you select any other criteria such as "Customer Name," "Account," "Project Type," etc., all projects associated with the customers, accounts, or project types within the selected range will be included.
Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously-saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. Once you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.
You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. If you select a previously-saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters will automatically display as selection defaults. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.
Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. You should choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen.
When you save your record, all the selections you made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.
You can use the parameter to produce reports and run processes more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously-defined screen selections. Once the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults as necessary.
Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.

Make sure that the account level you enter is not higher than the level for the Accounts Receivable accounts that you want to include on the report. For example, if your billed A/R account is 01100-010, 01100-020, and 01200, and you enter account level 3 and below, you will not have any invoices or cash receipts posted against these A/R accounts.

Select this checkbox to exclude progress payments on the report.
You may want to exclude your progress payment bills on this report if you have unselected the 1443 Postings - Progress Bills to GL When Billed checkbox in the Billing Settings screen.
Unselecting this checkbox in the Billing Settings screen means that when you post a progress payment bill, the A/R and billing history tables will be updated but nothing will post to the GL until the cash receipt paying the invoice is posted.

This checkbox is selected by default.
In order to apply finance charges to a customer, the Apply Finance Charges checkbox for that customer must be selected in the Credit Info tab of the Customers screen (Accounting\Maintain\Customers).

The finance charges will print on the report in detail by invoice number and are stored in the AR_FIN_CHARGE table.
The finance charges will not post to the General Ledger until the cash is received for the finance charges.
Note: This group box is enabled only if you are licensed for Costpoint Multicurrency. |
Note: The total/unrealized gain/loss amount added to the invoice amount equals the receipt amount. Realized gains and losses are part and parcel of customer payments. They arise from variances in the currency exchange rates that are used to calculate the translation from transaction to functional currency for Accounts Receivable. |

Only those invoices and cash receipts using the transaction currency code selected will be included on the report.
