Print Accounts Receivable Reports


Here's how to generate Accounts Receivable reports. The reports will be "previewed" on the screen first and can then be printed.

 

From the Lynx Main Menu . . .

1. On the Menu Bar, left-click on Reports or left-click the button.

2. In either case, a drop-down menu will appear.

3. Left-click on Accounts Receivable Reports.

There's also a third way to print Accounts Receivable reports. On the Menu Bar, left-click on Bookkeeping, then left-click on Accounts Receivable, and then left-click on Accounts Receivable Reports.

4. The Choose an Accounts Receivable Report window will now be displayed. As you left-click on each Report ID or Report Name, the description of that report will be shown in the box above.

5. Double-left-click the report you want (or left-click the report and then left-click the button).

6. This will display the Format an Accounts Receivable Report window.

7. If appropriate, select how you want your report sorted by left-clicking the down arrow and then left-clicking your selection from the drop-down list. For example . . .

This message will not appear if there are no choices on how a report can be sorted.

 

8. If you want the report to include a selected range of a particular type of data, left-click the appropriate check box next to the data type name. Then key in the range of data to and . This is called "filtering" the data. If you don't filter the data, ALL of that data type will print.

Here's an example . . . If you want your report to include all of your invoices for the month of April 1999, you would check (by left-clicking if it's not already checked) the check box next to Invoice Date and then keying in the range of dates you want included (that is, FROM April 1, 1999 THRU April 30, 1999).  
It would look like this . . .
Note: The "year" must be entered as a 4-digit number (i.e. "2000", not "00")

9. Once you've made your selections, left-click the button to preview the report on your screen.

10. After your report has appeared on the Print Preview window, you can left-click the print button to print the report or left-click the button to exit.

When you first start using the system, it's a good idea to practice choosing and formatting different kinds of reports. This will help you get the "feel" for how you can format your own reports by selecting ranges of data in different combinations.
