Arrears Reports - Overview

Arrears Reports are not dependant on Date Selection in the way that the other Report types are affected. Arrears Reports are organised by Report Date so that only batched claims and 'official' accounts display (not including un-batched claims or held accounts).

The Arrears Reports are reported so that historical information does not change from one date to the next. In other words, the arrears printed last week will not be affected by receipts recorded this week and will not affect the previous week's report if it is reprinted.

For example, if you print a report on 01/01/05 using the To:date as 01/01/05 and then the next week printed the same report on 07/01/05 using the same To:date if 01/01/05 the report will appear the same, regardless of any receipts recorded in the subsequent period.

For example Arrears Report for 01/01/05 using the To: 01/01/05 may appear as follows:

Total

Current

30

60

90+

$1,000

$1,000

$0

$0

$0

For example Arrears Report for 01/04/05 using the To:01/04/05 may appear as follows:

Total

Current

30

60

90+

$1,000

$0

$0

$0

$1,000

If the $1,000 amount outstanding was paid on the next day (Bulk Claim was paid) using the To: date of 02/04/05 the Report will appear as follows:

Total

Current

30

60

90+

$0

$1,000

$0

$0

$1,000

This basically means that Arrears was reduced or increased during the period that they occurred.

As you can see the final report (above) indicates that the $1,000 was outstanding 90 days ago, however the arrears were reduced in the current period that the outstanding account was paid (each period is affected accordingly). The enables you to be able to print the same report again once the original date of printing has passed.
