Accounts receivable (AR) are amounts a company has to collect from its customers for the sold goods or services on credit terms. In the balance sheet, AR is reported as a current asset and is considered part of working capital. The management of accounts receivable is an extremely important function since the collection of outstanding receivables constitutes the single most important source of cash for all organizations selling goods or services on credit terms.

AR module fully manages your customer accounts, maintaining a complete history and receivables status of each customer. Customer balances and history are immediately updated as transactions are entered elsewhere in the system. Aged Receivable Lists and Customer Statements can be generated at any time, for any specified date, allowing instant and accurate data to improve collections and detect payment problems. It makes credit management and customer account administration effortless for the business as well as it assists in improving cash flow.

The due dates for each invoice are computed automatically and can be different for each customer. You can print the minimum payment due and custom messages on customer statements. Receivables can be aged into user-defined format as well as selectively print service charges.

AR can be used stand-alone or can be integrated with Point of Sale, Billing/Order Entry, Job Cost and Time Billing. Each of these modules pull customer data as well as information about sales departments, salespersons from AR, while also updating invoice transactions to receivables. In turn, AR can then update consolidated postings to General Ledger for the receivables side of business.
