Generate Account Statements
Customer Statements is the core engine for producing professional, automated account statements directly from your Bookkeeper accounting data. This function ensures that every client receives a clear, itemized record of their outstanding balance and transaction history without manual compilation errors. By pulling real-time ledger information, it transforms raw financial entries into a polished document ready for delivery via email or PDF download. The system focuses exclusively on the lifecycle of creating these statements, from selecting the date range to formatting the final output.
The process begins when an AR Clerk initiates the generation command, specifying the customer account and the desired reporting period. The system instantly aggregates all invoices, payments, credits, and adjustments associated with that specific account during the selected timeframe.
Once data is compiled, Customer Statements applies consistent formatting rules to ensure professional presentation across different client sizes. This includes clear headers, itemized line items for every transaction, and a prominent total balance figure at the bottom of the statement.
After generation, the system handles distribution options, allowing clerks to send statements directly to customers or save them for archiving. The entire workflow is designed to reduce administrative time while maintaining 100% accuracy in reported balances.
