ACL Step by Step 1. To generate a total for Accounts Receivable from a raw invoice file
(Assuming invoice amount is called AMOUNT):
• Click on Analyze / Statistical / Statistics
• Click to select the field AMOUNT
• Click [OK].
• You can easily tie the "total" to the G/L Account Balance
2. If there is a unique identifying field, such as "Region", or "Transaction
Type", you can use the Classify command to generate totals by unique
identifying field (For example, total A/R by region):
• Click on Analyze / Classify
• Under "Classify on" select the "unique identifying field" e.g., REGION
• Under "Subtotal fields" click to select the field representing "Invoice
Amount"
• Click [OK]
• The Classify command will provide a list of all regions with respective totals
• The output from the Classify command can be copied from the LOG and
pasted into an Excel worksheet
• Repeat this process for each unique identifying field
