| Accounts Receivable
The Receivables module maintains customer and receivables files. Among its features are accounts aging, automatic printing of custom "overdue letters" (dunning letters), instant account status (by customer or by
individual store) to the screen or printer, aged statements with or without advertising messages, and acceptance of advanced payments, full or partial payments either on account or against specific invoices.
AS/AP™ includes an interface to merge your customer master file (customer names and addresses) with most commercially available word processing programs.
Customer Master File and Credit
The Customer Master File contains extensive data about the customers and their credit status with your company. In addition to the information you would expect (address lines, city, state, zip code, 2 contacts, 2 telephone
numbers, fax phone number, e-mail addresses, sales tax number, salesman, invoice terms, territory, source, shipping method, shipping priority, part ship status, etc.) the AS/AP™ System also provides and automatically maintains: Sales Last Year, Year-to-Date Sales, High Credit, Credit Limit, Open to Buy, Last Sale Date, First Invoice Date, Last Credit Date, Credit Hold (Switch),
and UPS Customer Type.
Customer Codes of up to 12 characters can be assigned by the user or automatically by the system.
Visual AS/AP™ approaches the optimum with such optional fields in the Customer Master file as: Vendor Code, Factor Code, Credit Expiration Date, Insurance Add-on Percent, and Standard Commission Rate.
The Accounting Department is able to place a Credit Hold on a Customer which will immediately prevent other departments from shipping to that customer. Obviously, if a Credit Hold is lifted, that information is also immediately
available to other departments. In addition, if a Credit Hold is instituted by the Accounting Department previously Approved Orders are immediately UNAPPROVED.
AS/AP™ even has an Electronic Note Pad that provides unlimited room to maintain miscellaneous notes for each customer. These notes can be searched at any time for keywords, dates, names, or phone numbers. Warning Flags are available to bring attention to notes of importance during Order Entry, Cash Receipts, and Order Conversion.
Customer Account History
The Accounts Receivable module maintains a ledger card on each customer that provides a chronological history of all activity applied to a specific customer.
Customer Pricing
AS/AP™ includes the ability to provide special pricing by customer, item group and customer, selected inventory items and customer combinations, or the ultimate: a different price for every customer and every inventory item. In essence,
our ability to handle your pricing needs is unlimited.
