Outstanding Items (Retrospective)

This report differs from the Outstanding Items [current] report in that it allows you to see an adjusted picture of Sales Ledger amounts outstanding- i.e. you can effectively see what the situation was several weeks or months ago,for items that have subsequently been paid, rather than just the current picture. The menu option is actually a program rather than a traditional Report Generator,and only works when the transactions that are to be examined are still present in the transaction and archive files. The Outstanding items (retrospective) report prints a document showing the selection parameters in the header of the report. The body of the report lists the items outstanding on accounts within the chosen parameters with a total for each account. It displays the account,the currency of the account, the daybook the document was created on, the document date, the duedate, whether the document is overdue or not,the type of the document [e.g. invoice/credit]the document number, reference, total amount of document and amount outstanding.
