RE: AR Aging

Patrick,

I was told once that real-time aging in AR is the most common modification
made to MAPICS.  Basically all that's required is a program to be run
regularly (we ran ours several times a day) which corrects the age code in
the OPENAR records and corrects the AR balances in the Customer AR Balance
records.  You can write it yourself or buy it, I imagine just about every
MAPICS BP knows where you can get it, if they don't have one to sell you
themselves.

We are running XA 5.

We have several customers that have extended terms (60 days). However, when
MAPICS ages the open AR, it ignores the terms code (verified by support line
this morning). So, when a customer does not pay within 90 days of the
aging/invoice date, but has credit terms to 60 days, MAPICS puts that
invoice in the past 90 column on the aging report. However, the customer is
only 30 days past due because of the extended aging.

MAPICS says that they will look at terms in XA 6. However, that does not
help me now.

I have to think that someone out there is aging invoices greater than 30
days. How have you solved the aging problem I have described above?
