Maximize Cash Flow and Improve Customer Satisfaction
The Sage MAS 500 Accounts Receivable module helps you improve cash flow while enhancing customer service through more effective management of your entire collections process. It is a key component of Sage MAS 500, a highly reliable, robust and integrated series of business applications that delivers a flexible, scalable and full-featured total business management solution.
Accounts Receivable gives you the power of automation to speed up and streamline every step in your collection efforts, from invoice entry to the recording of payments. The system automatically calculates sales taxes, discounts, commissions and due dates, and automatically distributes invoice amounts to the appropriate General Ledger account based on the item sold. During payment application, Sage MAS 500 lets you automatically apply cash receipts to open invoices and write off those balances that are within predefined tolerances. In addition, you can use the Sage MAS 500 desktop integration tool to quickly and easily create customized dunning letters, without any programming knowledge.
In addition to maximizing productivity and cash flow, the national accounts features in AR give you maximum customer management flexibility. National accounts enables you to group customers into parent and subsidiary relationships to facilitate orders, invoices, and settlements. Moreover, customers can be grouped for credit checking, so you can be assured that all affiliated companies are in good standing when an order is placed.
You’ll improve your collection efforts — and cash flow — because Accounts Receivable lets you monitor your customer accounts with a whole new level of timeliness and efficiency.With just a few clicks of the mouse, you can access up-to-the-minute statistical summaries, as well as summarized or detailed transaction listings, and generate in-depth management reports.
Web-Based Reporting All Accounts Receivable reports can be generated and viewed through Microsoft Internet Explorer with our Web Reports module, at the same high level of security as with the module’s standard output.
