Viewing A/R Balance Summaries

Use the A/R Summary screen to show a summary of the balances on accounts for a bill-to customer without needing to call up each account separately. On this screen, you can view a breakdown of each ship-to customer associated with the original bill-to customer, as well as view the details for each ship-to account. This is a view-only screen.

To view a summary of A/R balances:

  1. From the A/R menu, select A/R Inquiry to display the A/R Inquiry screen.

  2. From a populated A/R Inquiry screen, use the AR Sum hot key to display the A/R Summary screen.

The system populates the fields on the screen with the following information:

Column

Description
