The Business Snapshot report gives you an immediate analysis of what is going on in your business for a given day or date range. For example, you could generate the Business Snapshot report in the morning to see how heavy your delivery schedule for the day will be. You can also get an idea of your staffing needs throughout a day by tracking various types of sales by hour. Since Business Snapshot reports include cancelled, pending, and incomplete sales, the information in Business Snapshot should not be used to balance completed sales. For balancing purposes, use the Sales Summary Report.

Aged Analysis reports provide you with an analysis of your house account balances for either open item or balance forward accounts. You can use Aged Analysis reports to:

  • View potential future cash flow.
  • See how much customers owe and decide what steps you need to take to recoup money that you are owed.

Aged Analysis reports include only those accounts with balances for the selected store(s) and reporting period. The reports contain account balances and aging on accounts from the sale date relative to the date you generate the report. By default, the Aged Analysis reports set the Balance Forward date one month prior to the current date. By setting the Account Balance date later than the Balance Forward date, you can include future transactions in the Aged Analysis report. Aging is calculated nightly.

You will typically generate Aged Analysis reports monthly, either just before or just after you create statements.

Types of Aged Analysis Reports

There are three types of Aged Analysis reports:

Detail Report 
Lists each customer that has an open balance, as well as each individual transaction for the customer that occurred after the balance forward date. The report also prints the ticket number, product code(s) for each transaction, purchase date, and customer balance. Grand totals (for current, 30, 60, 90, 120+ days, and future, if selected) for each store are printed at the bottom of the report.

Summary Report 
Lists each customer name and phone number, and the current, 30, 60, 90, 120+, and future balances (if selected) for each customer. Individual transactions are not listed.
Grand Total Report 
Does not list individual customers. Total amounts for all customers are listed, separated by current, 30, 60, 90, 120+, and future balances.
