Aged Trial Balance Summaries

This option allows you to print a summarized version of the aged accounts receivable trial balance. The Summary Aging Report prints a list of all payers (clients, vendors, or employees) and the balances they owe at a specified date. This summary report may be printed by payer, by account, by manager, by billing clerk, or by media. Each payer balance is categorized according to how long it has existed. For each payer, the report shows the amounts less than 30 days old (in the Current column), and those 30 to 60, 60 to 90, 90 to 120 and more than 120 days old. If you have a dot matrix printer, you will be able to print those amounts that are 120 to 180, and more than 180 days old. Several other options are also available when requesting this report (i.e., print only selected offices, print in invoice date order, etc.).
  1. Select Accounts Receivable|Reports|Aged Trial Balance Summaries.

ATB Summaries Prompt

  1. If you want to show each age group as a ”number of months past due,” key the month and year (MM/CCYY) you want to be reported in the Current column or if you want to show each age group as a ”number of days past due,” key the full date (MM/DD/CCYY) to age on day and year you want to be reported in the Current column. If you want a report of items billed through a certain past date, key that date in this field. This allows the system to ignore any billing performed after that date.

  2. From the Select Report Version drop-down list, select the type of summary report you wish to print. You may only select one version. Versions include By Payer (Client/Vendor/Employee), By Ledger Account, By Account Manager (Executive), By Executive Manager, By Billing Clerk, and by Billing Type (Media Code).

  3. From the Data Type Selection drop-down list, select All Receivables (Include all receivable accounts), Exclude Intercompany (Include all receivable accounts except intercompany accounts), or Intercompany Only (Include only intercompany receivables).

  4. From the Client (Payer) Sort area, click to sort By Client (Payer) Code or By Client Sort Name order.

  5. From the Aging Selection area, indicate the maximum number of days past due (or months past due) you want to appear on the report. 120+ days shows five age groups from current to ”more than 120 days old” (or ”more than 4 months old” if you entered an effective month). 180+ days shows shows seven age groups from current to ”more than 180 days old” (or ”more than 6 months old” if you entered an effective month). This setting is only possible if you are using a dot matrix printer.

  6. From the Information Selection area, select to show the client’s phone number and the manager assigned or select to print only a single line per amount (this option saves the amount of paper that is used).

  7. From the Period Selection drop-down list, select the receivable balance to come from either the current open status or print the summary version of the ATB from the history file.

  8. From the Consolidate Offices area, click Yes to consolidate offices so that clients used across offices can be viewed all together. Click No to report offices individually.

  9. From the Print Media Totals area, click Yes to print receivable amount totals by media type on the report; otherwise, click No. This field only applies if you selected to report at the client master level.

  10. To print unapplied cash in a separate column, select Print in Separate Column from the Unapplied Cash Display drop-down list; otherwise select Include in Aging Column

This function is also available on the Prompt as described above. As always, if you process in the background and your report is under 2MB in size, you will receive your report as an attachment in an email after processing is completed. If your report is over 2MB in size, your email will contain a link that will open a download window where you can save the file to a spreadsheet format.
