Statement types

Statement Type Record ID

Code

A unique code for the statement type.

Description

A description of the statement type.

Statement Type tab

Format

The statement format to use for this statement type. Your options are:

• Balance Forward. A balance forward statement shows a beginning balance as of a given date and detail of all invoices and receipts since that date. Balance forward statements always shows the original amount of each invoice regardless of any partial payments credited to the account. Balance forward statements are appropriate for customers who pay toward the account balance rather than toward individual invoices. Receipts are applied to the oldest invoices first.
• Open Item. An open item statement shows all outstanding charges on a customer's account, but does not show payments applied on the account. For partially paid invoices, you can print the original invoice amount and the remaining balance on the statement if your print format is set up to do that. Open item statements are appropriate for customers who pay for specific invoices rather than toward their account balance. For this reason, it is important to apply payments according to the instructions with the customer's payments.
