What can I do in this screen?

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:

When should I use this screen?

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.

FAQs

I am trying to print the report for only my second-level projects but I cannot enter a Project Level on the screen. What is wrong?

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.

Field Descriptions

Identification

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.

Parameter ID *

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.

Description *

Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.

Include

Account Level      and below

This field is available only if you select "Account" or "Organization" in the Select By - Grouping drop-down box.

Enter the account level at which you want the report printed; all lower levels will be rolled up for the report. The larger the level number, the more detailed the report; the smaller the number, the less detailed. To see all levels of detail, enter zero.

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.

If you enter account level 1 and below, you will have invoice details grouped by Accounts Receivable account 01100 and 01200.

If you select account level zero and below, you will see invoice and cash receipt detail grouped by each Accounts Receivable account.
