NOTINBAL

 

If a statement is out of balance, it means that the details on

the statement don't add up to the customer's final balance.

 

Example:

 

Opening Balance            500.00

Finance Charge         20.00

Purchase              100.00

Payment                75.00

                     

Closing Balance            620.00

 

The details add up to 500+20+100-75=545 which is different from

620

 

1)   If all the details are correct, but the closing balance is

off, you have to manually adjust the balance using the [8,1,4]

screen. (change the balance in 0-30 and in the Opening balance

fields). Note: We really do mean the Opening balance field in the

customer balance screen since the Opening balance for the current

period is the closing balance for the ending month.

 

2)   If the closing balance is correct, but the opening balance

is wrong, you can manually adjust the PREVIOUS BALANCE field from

the [8,1,4] screen. Note: We really do mean the PREVIOUS BALANCE

field in the customer balance screen not the Opening Balance

field since the Opening balance for the current period is the

closing balance for the ending month.

 

3)   If the opening balance is correct and the closing balance is

correct, it may mean that a purchase or a payment is not showing

up. Double-check this by doing a cleanup and running a customer

history. If the transaction does not appear it might be due to a

power or disk problem. Re-enter the transaction and then manually

correct the balance as described in step 1) Note that if the

missing transaction was a sale, verify that the inventory levels

of the item on the sale are correct after re-typing the sale.
