SECTION 1.4.7 - LIST DEBTOR CONTACTS

 

USAGE: To print a list of Debtor Contacts form the Debtor CRM file.

 

DISCUSSION: When you choose this option, the screen will appear as follows:

 

 

Here you can choose the order in which you wish to print the report.

 

Hint: If you intend to limit the report to a range of Contacts, it is most efficient to print the report in the same order. Eg if you wish to limit the report to a range of SORT NAMES, the report will scan the master-file faster if you also print the report in SORT NAME order.

 

Having chosen from the options, the following questions will appear:

 

USE LONG FORMAT REPORT     If you are using wide stationery, reply Y, otherwise reply N. This question will only be displayed if the relevant option is set to A, see SECTION 7.1.2.

 

START A NEW PAGE ON CHANGE OF KEY If you have chosen to print the report in OTHER-KEY order, you will be offered this option. If you reply Y, HiFinance will start a new page each time the major key changes. If you reply N, the transactions will be printed continuously.

 

INCLUDE ALL DEBTORS If you do not wish to set any limits on the report, enter Y otherwise enter N. If you enter N, you will be asked a list of further questions.

 

INCLUDE ACTIVE DEBTORS     Active Debtors are defined as those that have a balance.

 

INCLUDE NON-ACTIVE DEBTORS       Non-active Debtors are defined as not having a balance. If you wish to print sub-accounts, you must answer Y here.

 

INCLUDE BILL-TO DEBTORS ONLY  If you do not use the sub-account facility, this question is irrelevant. If you have sub-accounts and wish to only print the main accounts, enter Y. To show the sales breakdown of each sub-account, enter N.

 

INCLUDE DORMANT DEBTORS   Normally, dormant Debtors are not included in this report. If you wish to included them, enter Y.

 

The following questions ask you to enter both a lower and upper limit. The upper limit must not be less than the lower limit. The default answers define the extreme limits of the field. You do not have to change all of these limits. Only change the ones you wish to, and tab past the others.

GROUP RANGE This is the Debtor Group.
