Register History F/M (ARF958)

Use this program to trace through all registers of the current period to see how the accounts receivable balance is affected by each register. When initially setting up the AR system, no records need to be entered here. The Register History Report provides a printout of these records, maintaining a complete audit trail of the AR balance.

For every register printed and updated that affects the accounts receivable balance, a record is created by the system. Information includes the following:

• AR Register Trace Number: As a register is updated the system assigns a trace number to it.
  
• Register Types Are: Cash receipts, Returned checks, JC invoicing, Service charges, Invoicing, Daily sales, Bad debts, Auto credit apply, K-customer balancing, Equipment rental invoicing, and Technical support invoicing.
  
• Date: The date the register is updated.
  
• Period: The period the register is updated.
  
• Register: The number that is assigned to each register while it is run.
  
• Beginning AR Balance: The AR balance before the register was updated.
  
• Dollar Amount: The actual dollar amount of the register that affects the AR balance.
  
• Discount Amount: The discount amount (if applicable) on the register.
  
• Adjustment Amount: The adjustment amount (if applicable) on the register.
  
• Ending AR Balance: The AR balance after the register is updated. This balance becomes the beginning balance on the next AR register trace number.
  
• Deposit Number: The deposit number (if applicable) on the register.
