Important reminder!
Licenses for Payroll CS, Trial Balance CS, and Write-Up CS (but not Engagement CS) permanently expired on March 1, 2017.
For details, see CSA license expiration 2017 – frequently asked questions.
Some processes documented in the Help & How-To Center are no longer applicable, due to the discontinuation of these CSA modules.
If you have provided your client with the Accounts Receivable module, use this tab section to specify features for that module of your client's CBS application.
From the Accountant's Assistant main window, choose Setup > Miscellaneous Information. In the Miscellaneous Information dialog, click the Accounts Receivable tab.
Fields & options
Enter the appropriate GL account number for each of the following items, or select the account number from the F4 drop-down list:
- Accounts receivable
- Shipping
- Sales tax
- Discounts
- Finance charges
- Undeposited payments
- Write-offs
- Deposits
- Reductions to deposits
- Unearned revenue
- Flat amount billing
- Sales returns
- Advertising
- Bank fees
- NSF fees
- Rounding adjustments
For each of the following items, enter an alphanumeric reference that is less than the starting check number and not the Balancing Entry reference in Client Properties.
- Accounts receivable
- Finance charges
- Write-offs
- Deposits
- Receivables payments
- Credit memos
To enable memo transactions for AR transactions dated on or before the date that you specify, mark this checkbox. This feature is especially helpful if you are converting a client to CBS from another application and have already posted AR transactions for prior periods.
The client's first export of AR transactions would include memo transactions only (that would not post to the GL) for any AR transactions dated on or before the date you enter here.
Note: Clients doing a first-time setup of CBS AR will need to enter any open transactions from previous period in order to have those transactions be properly closed with new activity.
Choose one of the following options to specify the method of retrieving Accounts Receivable journal entries from your CBS client:
- Summary retrieval, summary transfer to CSA
- Detailed retrieval, summary transfer to CSA
- Detailed retrieval, detailed transfer to CSA
To designate the client as a cash-basis client for AR transactions, mark this checkbox. If this checkbox is not marked, the client will be treated as an accrual-basis client.
Notes
- This checkbox affects only the CBS Accounts Receivable module.
- If the Cash-Basis Client checkbox is marked, CBS Accounts Receivable will not generate a journal entry for the receivable amount at export, and items in the Sales Journal in CBS Accounts Receivable will print based on applied payments and according to the date the payment was received instead of the date of the invoice.
- Regardless of whether the Cash-Basis Client checkbox is marked or unmarked, if you do not want an accrual entry for CheckWriter unprinted checks, you need to leave both of the following fields blank on the CheckWriter tab of the Setup > Miscellaneous Information dialog:
- General Ledger Accounts > Unprinted checks JE acct
- Transaction References > Unprinted checks JE
