Accounts Receivable Customer Reports

The ability to quickly find out pertinent information about your customers is a vital part of business. Cougar Mountain offers some resolution to this dilemma by providing reports designed for this purpose. These reports have various sorts and filters available that include any User-Defined Fields you have set up.

[-] Customer Quick List:
 

Use this report any time you need a general list of customer names or numbers. For example, perhaps you want to assign customers to your sales team based on alphabetical order, customer number, or one of the other sort options. The AR Customer Quick List can be printed for all customers or a range of customers. Other selection parameters include customer name, customer number, customer type, and any of the established User-Defined Fields.

[-] Snapshot Reporting:Open to view images
 

This function works similar to a dashboard and will save you hours upon hours of time compiling data. You can look at your “Business Condition” for General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Sales (Point of Sale and Order Entry) and Inventory with the click of a few buttons.

Financial Snapshot Report alt Each module provides different information along with charts and graphs, giving you options to select the specific information you are looking for. It will save your settings from the last time you entered so you don’t have to set it up every time. Unless, of course, you are looking for different data.

There is no doubt that this feature will save you time and provide you with information critical to your organization. Here’s a list of highlights of the information you can find on these reports and useful for taking to the bank.

Print the financial data based on a period or date range along with a graph of the total net income/loss per period for the current fiscal year.

[-] Customer Labels:
 

Select this option to create mailing labels for Accounts Receivable customers. The labels print for all customers or a range of customers, or for a specified AR Code group.

[-] Custom Reports Menu Enhanced:
 

We have added more reports and enhancements to the custom reports menu that we started with the Version 11 release. With Version 12 you no longer have to worry about overwriting your custom reports during upgrades etc. You can now easily separate the custom reports from the originals by saving them elsewhere on your computer. In addition you now have the ability to create multiple custom reports, save them, and still keep the original. The Dated Invoice/Payment, GL Expense Distribution and History reports are now accessible from the custom reports menu.

[-] Additional Queries on Reports:
 

Found in: AP, AR, GL, IN, and PO
What a timesaver! This is a continuation of a feature we started in version 11 by providing you with a "Search For" option on many reports. Well, now with Version 12 we have created additional queries and improved functionality for the Dated Invoice/Payment and History reports.

[-] Edit Report Update - Account Impact Summary Report:Open to view images
 

This system-wide report allows you to see what effect the posting will have on your General Ledger accounts prior to the actual posting. This provides you with real-time information you need so that you actually see what your balances will be once you've posted and what you can expect - income, expenses, overall cashflow.

Print Account Impact Summary checkbox alt If any errors are found during posting, then this report will print the validation errors instead of the account impact which is very helpful if you have a large number of transactions to post.

[-] Customer Master:
 

Print this report for customer records for the sales staff or for archival information. This report includes general, financial, last charge, status, and total due information, as well as User-Defined Fields, if you have chosen to include them.

Here's a great time saver! The ability to print a statement right from the customer master screen. Now when a client calls in you have access to a statement in AR in a matter of seconds.

[-] Customer Statements:
 

You can print customer statements at any time during an accounting period. If you choose to print statements, you can do so for all customers, a range of customers, or customers with a specific AR Code. To exclude customers with a balance of zero, select the Skip Zero Balances check box.

Accounts Receivable Transaction Reports

Quickly knowing the status of your customers with past due amounts is vital information for your business. These reports have various sorts and filters available, along with different types of report formats you can choose to define the amount of information you wish to review.

[-] Aged Analysis:Open to view images

Other Features

[-] System Wide File Maintenance:Open to view images
 

You can now Reindex all files from the main menu. What a time saver! You no longer have to go into each module and reindex them individually.

Reindex Data Files window alt To make this feature even better you can tie it into the Automatic Backup feature. You can set the system backup to reindex prior to doing the backup. If you use the advanced options you can even stop the backup if errors are found in the reindex. A full Run Log is provided so you will know exactly where the problem is.

[-] Enhanced Date Block Range for Posting:Open to view images
 

Have you ever accidentally posted a check for the right day but the wrong year? In previous versions we allowed you to block postings to prior periods by setting this block. In Version 12 we have enhanced this feature to also block future periods from posting.

Fiscal Calendar window alt This allows you the option of blocking all postings in all modules for a specific period(s) within the fiscal calendar. You will receive an error message if you attempt to post a transaction that is outside of the date block range, i.e. posting to 2008 instead of 2007.
