Setup Checklist and Functions
Initial Balances
After you have set up the tables and recurring orders, build the ARINxxx (Open
Invoice) file to set up initial customer balances.
You can use the summary method, the detail method, or a combination of the
summary and detail methods to set up the initial customer balances and open
orders.
Summary Method
The summary method is quicker than the detail method, but it does not provide
complete sales history.
The summary method consists of the following steps:
1.
Enter the unpaid finance charges and outstanding invoice amounts for the
current period and the four aging periods, and enter credit and payment
history (see the Accounts Receivable User’s Manual).
2.
Use the Build Open Invoice File function (see the Accounts Receivable
User’s Manual) to build an invoice for each unpaid finance charge, current
amount due, and balance in an aging period.
3.
Select the New Order option in the Transactions function to enter the open
orders.
Detail Method
The detail method provides complete sales history, but it is more time-consuming
than the summary method.
The detail method consists of the following steps:
1.
3-18
Enter the invoices, open orders, returned goods, and cash receipts for the
current year, and post them to the appropriate periods. Select the Shipped
Order option in the Transactions function to enter the invoices and the New
Order option to enter open orders.
