Arrears Reports

Use Arrears reports so that historical information does not change from one date to the next.

In other words, the arrears printed last week will not be affected by receipts recorded this week and will not affect the previous week's report if it is reprinted.

Arrears Reports are not dependant on Date Selection in the way that the other Report types are. Arrears Reports are organised by Report Date so that only batched claims and 'official' accounts will display (this does not including un-batched claims or held accounts).

For example, if you print a report on 01/01/05 using the To: date as 01/01/05 and then the next week printed the same report on 07/01/05 using the same To: date of 01/01/05 the report will appear the same, regardless of any receipts recorded in the subsequent period.

E.g. Arrears Report for 01/01/05 using the To: 01/01/05 may appear as follows:

If receipts were recorded the following day and this report was re-run using the To: date 01/01/05 the Report should appear the same.

The amounts that show in Pracsoft Arrears Reports for 30, 60 or 90+ days are the arrears that were outstanding at that time regardless of receipts recorded in more recent periods

E.g. Arrears report for 01/04/05 using the To: date of 01/04/05 may appear as follows:

If the $1,000 amount outstanding was paid on the next day (Bulk claim was paid) using the To: date of 02/04/05 the Report will appear as follows:

This basically means that Arrears are reduced or increased during the period that they occurred.

As you can see that final report (above) indicates that the $1,000 was outstanding 90 days ago, however the arrears were reduced in the (current) period that the outstanding account was paid (each period is affected accordingly). This enables you to be able to print the same report again once the original date of printing has passed.
