Jim2® Business Engine Help File

To edit (ie. add payments), view or report on a debtor, a group of debtors, or produce your debtor statements, you need to filter the available debtors using the Debtors List. The Debtors List comes to active view when you select Accounts > Debtors on the ribbon and click Run.

The Debtors List can also display all customers/vendors, regardless of whether they have a balance or not. A useful feature of the Debtors List is that you can filter by Account Manager.

Info

In the Debtors List, the Total column will show in green if there are unallocated credits.

 

Before commencing debt collection activities, it's a good idea to run the Debtors List first by Unallocated to ensure that all payments have been applied to the relevant invoices, and are not sitting as unapplied credits.

Example Debtors List: 60 Days

Run the Debtors List as of a specific date, then select Balance 60. The list will return only debtors with a balance in the 60 days column, allowing you to send out statements based on this list.

 

Alternatively, you can select Due Date and set the due date you require. Run the list based on that date. The resulting list will show all debtors who have invoices that have a due date prior to your nominated date, allowing you to send out batch statements based on this list.
