Multi-Store: Alternate Sales Report

Note: This feature is Multi-store only.

Multi-store Paladin clients have available the Alternate Sales report that accompanies end-of-month customer accounts receivable statements. The Alternate Sales report focuses on customer accounts that were defined with Open Item accounting systems. A historic component of open item accounting is to display every unpaid invoice and unapplied credit regardless of the date of the transaction (i.e. No Balance Forward amounts).

The Alternate Sales report applies a different set of selection criteria regarding what transactions are detailed on the sales report. Previously, all transactions from the current billing period were reproduced including invoices that were paid (and not detailed on the statement) and credits received (that had been applied to invoices and were not detailed on the statement). With this report, the attached sales report does not display any transaction not displayed on the customer’s statement.

The Alternate Sales report limits display of the above listed transactions; it also adds transactions from prior periods that are unpaid and/or not applied. This allows the report to list the exact transactions displayed on the customer’s statement.

Note: The same unpaid/unapplied transaction(s) may be supplied to a customer on consecutive month’s sales reports.

To enable this feature:

1. In Paladin, from the main menu, select File > Setup.
2. Select the Receivables tab.
3. In the Receivable Setting pane, check Print Only Open Item Transaction Details.
4. Click Save, then click Close. 

Note: Balance forward accounting style accounts are unchanged.
