2. Daily Internal Controls Summary

2.5. Daily Reports

The following reports will assist the practice manager to manage the practice on a daily basis:



 

1. Unlinked Receipt Report

Receipts will be posted unlinked on accounts when the invoices have not been done. As soon as the invoice is done the receipt must be linked to the invoice. This will prevent the transactions to be listed on the age analysis with a plus (invoice) and a minus (the unlinked receipt). The Invoice outstanding report will also not balance when the receipts are not linked to the invoice. An unlinked receipt will be corrected by using a Zero receipt.

The following information can be found on the Unlinked receipts report:

  • Entity posted in
