Ui step

A pop-up window will appear. Choose the statement "End Date", click on the "Create" button and check the box to determine if the statement will be delivered via Email or Fax. The system will also ask for selecting the type of Statement that should be generated. There are two options:

    • Transactional: This option will show the invoices that were open by the "As of" date selected, regardless if they were paid or not after that date.
    • Open Items: This option will only show invoices that are still open as of today.
    • Balance Forward: This option will show all the transactions made through a period of time (max. 6 months). The invoices will be listed even if they were paid after the end date.


    Important

    Keep mind in that the statement type selected is only taken into consideration within the list of invoices of the statement, but not in the header.

Info

The information on the statements is based on the transaction date and not on the date when the transaction was entered into the system.

When the user runs an on-screen aging report for a past "As Of" date, the aging information shown will reflect the reality of the customer's account based on all transactions that were entered with a transaction date less than or equal to the "As Of" date specified in the search. This applies to all transactions that affect the customer's balance such as invoices, credits, payments, open credits, discounts, etc.


Warning

You cannot generate past statements for any customer if they don't currently have an open balance for that period.

titleOpen Credits on Aging and Statements


Info
titleInformation

Open credits are considered in the Aging and Statements screen. If the Credits are Approved, they will affect the aging, while credits pending to be reviewed, submit for review, reopened, rejected, will not be considered in the aging model.


How to Include/Exclude Open Credits on Statements

When customers have open credits the following must be considered:

  • If the customer doesn't have open invoices but has available credits it will still appear on the Aging and Statements tab. 
  • Customers with available credits but no open invoices will be included on the Aging Reports.
  • Open credits are included on the customer statement by default. However, this option is manageable if you wish to exclude these from being printed on the customer statements.You can do so by going to Setup > Settings and under  "Accounts Receivables" menu click on "Statement OptionsAging & Statements". Check the option and click on Save.

Here is how the Statement should look like when the credits are included. Download it here.

How to Include/Exclude Open Credits from Aging Summary

When this option is enabled, the open credits associated to the customer (overpayments and customer credits) will be subtracted from the Aging Report (both PDF and Excel) and Statements. The open credits will be subtracted from the total of the period in which they were approved (customer credits), paid (overpayments) or uploaded into Komet (credit transfers).

Leaving this option deactivated, the system won't subtract the open credits from the total amount due for the selected period.

Once enabled, the Open Credits will be taken into account in the aging summary for each period and of course, in the total amount:

 

Info
titleInvoices Reopened

Invoices reopened due to NSF will be identified as Reopened-NSF on the PO# column.
