Sales Journal (Pre-Close)

Use this report to summarize each advertiser's A/R activity since the last month closed.

Information Gathering

This report must be run for the CURRENT OPEN MONTH prior to closing. The report provides an A/R summary of what occurred for the current open month for each advertiser. Applied payments refer to those receipts that have been literally applied to a transaction such as invoice, adjustment, etc. Unapplied payments refer to those payments that are "set as unapplied" on the statement, which are not applied directly to a transaction but are on the A/R statement as an unapplied credit. Undistributed receipts that have been added to the deposit slip but are not applied directly to the A/R statement are NOT included on this report. Gross Sales and Discounts pull directly from committed invoices on the A/R statement OR from Official Invoices if that option is chosen. All other types of transactions will appear on this report as soon as they are applied to the A/R statement for the current open statement period.

Important Information

There is also an option to print the Receivables Group Summary Page. If, for example, Receivables Groups were set up by income type, this would allow you to see that income breakdown in a more summarized format at the end of this billing report.
