Customer Entry Statement Print Report overview

Customer > Entry > ARE Reports > Customer Entry Statement Print

Function acronym: ARES

Use this page to print statements any time, but typically you print them at the end of the month after you run the Customer Entry Roll Balances Report.

You can print a statement multiple times within a month. Only the last statement balance and prior statement balance are updated on Customer Inquiry records.

You can also fax statements directly to a customer. Specify a valid fax device and the customer's fax number on the Information page in the Customer Entry Statement Print Report. The fax device must be set up in SA Printer Setup.

Statements are automatically printed for all customers who accept them. Some customers pay based on the invoices received and do not require a statement. The Statement Type field in Customer Setup-General determines whether a statement prints. Even though a customer might not require statements, you can print them for special circumstances.

You can print statements in standard or non-standard formats. Select the print format in SA Administrator Options-Customers-Statements. You also can print the headings on your statements or suppress them. If you have custom, preprinted forms, uncheck the Print Headings option. If you suppress the heading, the remit to name and address still prints.

In SA Administrator Options-Customers-Statements, you can also specify a minimum balance amount that is required before the statement is printed. If the customer's balance is less than the amount tha is specified, a statement is not printed.

C.O.D. balances do not print on the statement. Even though you might have selected the Include COD’s in Total Balance option in SA Administrator Options-Customers-Balances, C.O.D. balances are not included in the total due for statement purposes.

Sales orders with the Our Records Only Invoice option selected in Sales Order Entry are not included on the statement if they are closed by the statement date.

Statements by ship to

You can generate customer statements at the ship to level with the Customer Entry Statement Print Report. This is useful when a customer's ship to locations operate independently and require individual statements for review and payment submission.

Set up your customer ship to records to generate ship to statements in Customer Ship To Setup. The Statement Type field in Customer Ship To Setup-General determines whether a statement prints. Optionally, specify a value in the Cycle Code field in Customer Ship To Setup-Generalto allow statement generation to be filtered by billing cycle at the ship to level. Specify values in the Statements and Statement Send To fields in Customer Ship To Setup-eCommerce to specify how and to whom the customer ship to statements are delivered.
