Before you run this program each time

You should run these programs in this sequence:

  1. AR Invoice Register (RR) to select confirmed shipments to invoice and print the AR Invoice Register, which creates AR invoices, updates commissions, sales statistics, and the general ledger.

  2. (Optional) Invoice Print Queue (RPPM) to process the queue.

OR

Invoice Print (RP) to print or reprint an invoice for a specific shipment.

  1. AR Adjustments Entry (RB) to apply an AR adjustment or write-off to an invoice, enter an adjustment or write-off, transfer an invoice balance to another AR account, and print the AR Adjustment Register.

    OR

    Cash Receipts Entry (RCE) to enter customer payments, adjustments, and write-offs and print the Cash Receipts Register.

Before you run this program the first time

You should run these programs:

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Enterprise Options) to select a date display format for your enterprise, Branch Maintenance (TBM) to select a date display format for your branch, or User Maintenance (UIM) to select a date display format for an individual user.

  • AR Adjustment Codes Maintenance (TACM) to set up codes that users can select to explain credit and debit adjustments and write-offs in the AR Adjustments Entry (RB) and Cash Receipts Entry (RCE) programs and can be used as criteria for posting transactions to the general ledger.

  • Customer Maintenance (CM) to set up customers.

  • User Maintenance (UIM) to set up user records.
