Accounts Receivable Overview
Accounts Receivable (A/R) is an optional module within the system. A/R, essentially, allows you to track who owes you, what they owe, why they owe it, and when they owe it. The system's AR module allows you to track this information by customer and print reports (such as statements, Aged A/R Trial balance, etc.).
Setup requires three steps:
- Account Master Maintenance [F11]. One or more account numbers can be designated as A/R accounts. Each account can have its own customers or share a common list (Sub-Table) of customers. If more than one A/R account is used, the account numbers should be contiguous.
- Company A/R Entry Options. This is where the behind-the-scenes system information will be kept. Typically, once you’ve entered this information, you will not have to do it again.
- Customer Sub-Account Info. This is where all of the information you could possibly want on your customer(s) is kept. You will need to input this information for each customer.
