Accounts Receivable

By running off an Accounts Receivable summary trial balance you will be able to check the total of monies outstanding to the Trade Debtors control account in the General Ledger.

The control account is defined in the Accounts Receivable maintenance menu against the data element called Account Groups.

Each client in the Accounts Payable module is linked to a single Account Group and then a General Ledger Control account.

3.  Print an Accounts Receivable trial balance (summary or detailed).

4.  Print a General Ledger system trial balance 5. Compare the value at the bottom of the Accounts Payable Trial balance with the closing balance in the Trade Debtors (this may be called Accounts Receivable) General Ledger account.
