AR-E  Print Statements

Purpose of Program

This program will print the Accounts Receivable transactions on the universal form or on plain paper.  Check the bar at the top of the screen to see which option is operational.  This option is set in AR-S  Accounts Receivable Defaults.    On the Default screen you can also choose whether the age of an invoice on statements is calculated as the number of days since the invoice was posted or the number of days past due.

Statements can be printed showing previous payments, or restricted to just open items.  Customer deposits can be included or not.

General Program Operation

You may enter a range of customer codes and/or customer classes to print.  Within whatever range of customers specified, the program will print statements for all customers who have the Statement? field in their customer file set to Y.

You may enter a statement date, or press <Enter> to default to the current date.

If you enter Y to print an Aged statement format, you will be prompted for the number of days of payments to include.  The Aged format lists open invoices in the first section of the statement and itemized payments in the second and uses the BKARE4.RTM regardless of default setting.

You may choose to print only overdue accounts and not to print accounts that currently have a zero balance.

Next you can specify whether any customer deposits are to be included on the listing and whether they are to be included in the total balance due.

If you want to show previously paid items and open items, answer N to Print Items with Open Amounts Only?

You can choose whether to summarize transactions before a certain date into a balance forward, and then you can enter the balance forward date.

If you are including fully paid items, you can limit how far back into the past such items are listed.

Finally you are prompted for formatting.
