From / To Account

 

Select the Customer Account range on which the report will be run by entering the first and last Account codes in the sequence. Either type in the Account code, or select it from the Finder. See Finding Customers.

 

Note: To bring up the context-sensitive Finder, place your cursor within this field then click [F3]. Customers will now be active in the Finder.

Note: The Customer Account Code is made up of a unique series of letters and numbers assigned to the customer. They start with two characters, followed by up to seven numbers; e.g. WE/0001234. Zeros are permitted.

 

If you enter nothing in the From / To fields, the report will be run on your whole Customer Account list.

 

Set Or Clear Flags

 

Click to select one of the following:

 

  • Set: To set the 'stop' flags for all Accounts in the selected range if the Account is overdue.

  • Clear: To clear the 'stop' flags for all Accounts in the selected range if the Account is not overdue.

 

Status

 

Use the menu to select the Account status where the 'stop' flags, for the selected Customer Account range, will either be set or cleared (e.g. all Customer Accounts whose current Status is 'Amount Overdue - Cheque Required').

 

Note: Your available Account Status Descriptions are set up in the Sales Ledger - Account Status record.
