Using the Customer Invoice Startup


Normally, beginning balances for general ledger accounts are entered as of a pre-determined cut off date.  This date may coincide with the end of a fiscal year or an accounting period.  Accounts receivable invoices dated prior to the cut off date are included in the beginning balances and should be marked as updated to the general ledger.  Running the Customer Invoice Startup will prevent the open invoices from posting to the general ledger and altering the beginning balances.  This procedure should not be run for invoices dated after the beginning balance cut off date.
Complete the following procedures to mark the necessary accounts receivable invoices as updated to the general ledger:
1. Select the Actions tab, System Utilities Module and double-click on the Customer Invoice Startup Module step.
2. A message screen will appear verifying that you would like to mark ALL accounts receivable invoices as being updated to the general ledger.
3. Press [OK] to proceed.  ALL accounts receivable invoices currently in the system will be marked as updated to the general ledger but no entry to the general ledger will be made -or- Press [Cancel] if you are not absolutely certain that you want to mark ALL accounts receivable invoices as being updated to the general ledger.   
4. Note:  Accounts receivable invoices included in the Customer Invoice Startup cannot be edited after running this  Module step.
5. After pressing [OK], another message will appear confirming you want to mark ALL accounts receivable invoices as updated to the general ledger.
6. Press [OK] to complete the procedure and ALL accounts receivable invoices will be updated.  This procedure cannot be reversed after completing this step -or- Press [Cancel] to terminate this procedure and return to the Main Module.
