IMPORTANT: ONCE PER MONTH choose "Close Monthly Statements" even if you are not printing AR Statements.
When it is time to print AR Statements, this list will display all open AR accounts. You may choose to print all or only selected statements
--- Some Important Settings ---
• | Do Not Print Statements With Zero Balances - saves time, paper, and postage |
• | Printer Icon Before Customer Name - If there is no printer icon beside the name of the company or individual, then a statement will not print no matter if the box is tagged or not. |
• | Close Monthly Statements [F9] This MUST be done on a monthly basis, even if you do not use all the Accounts Receivable features. |
• | Tag/Untag - only checkmarked items will be printed, provided there is a printer icon preceeding the customer name. |
Important Monthly Activity - Close Monthly Statements each month.
Even if you do not use all of the features of Accounts Receivable nor plan to print AR Statements, it is important to close the statements at least once per month. This assures that relative databases are updated properly.

2) Click on Close Monthly Statements at the far left. You will be notified of when statements were last processed. (see the "Last Closed On..." information box in the bottom right)
3) Choose Process [F10]
When finished you may print statements.
This list will include customers with a Store Credit as indicated by a negative value in the Amount Owed column. These store credits are the result of returns, consignments, and advance payments.
