What is the commitment of going live?
Once you go live using A/R invoice posting or invoice posting by batch, you are
committed to entering customer invoices and payments regularly and performing
the day end procedure every day. Day End will provide the following:
Daily backup tape.
Sales Analysis Report showing sales by customer class, assigned salesman,
written by salesman, charge and cash transactions, addons, and sales tax.
Daily Report showing today and month-to-date charge and cash transactions,
A/R summary, and cash settlement.
Transaction Register (only if using A/R invoice posting).
Transaction Day End Update which clears the Sales Master File and Totals
File of the current day's transactions, updates Sales History if used, and posts
sales to the General Ledger (only if using A/R invoice posting).
You must also run the month end process for A/R every month. The month end
will generate finance charges and increment the terms dates (discount and due
dates) to the next month. It will also allow you to print customer statements from
the month end password (MOEND). You must also perform the month end
update for the Totals File. This will clear out all month-to-date figures.
