Set the IRIS Accounts Office period\year to your current
financial period and year
Always agree the posted value from the aged report to the General
Ledger for the current period and year, even if the problem is with
a backdated report.
To prove the posted balance from the aged report to the current
General Ledger balance, print the aged report with the following
options:
Summary
Y
Outstanding only
N
Backdate to period
N
This report is 'live' and shows invoices outstanding at this
moment. If all invoices for the period selected are posted, the
'posted total' should equal the total amount outstanding for
customers or suppliers at that date.
If the posted value from the aged report and the General Ledger
balance do not agree after the above conditions are met, the
difference is likely to be with the matching information. Check the
summary aged report for debit and credit values across the ageing
periods for each customer or supplier. For example, credits on an
aged debtors report for a customer would indicate an incorrectly
matched receipt. In these instances where credits do exist, check
the matching information from the customer ledger.
Backdating Aged Reports
Provided matching information is correct, it is possible to
produce a backdated aged report. Print the report with the
following options:
Summary Y
Outstanding only N
Backdate to period Y
