Cash Flow Summary

The cash flow summary screen uses a layout that shows how your cash flow status looks like over time (days’ ranges). Beginning from top row, it shows your cash position (based on amounts in your cash and bank accounts configured for this) over each days’ range after accounting for any movements during the period.

A/R Summary

This screen shows ten customers with the highest outstanding balance. It has information on the credit amount you have extended to them (in customer currency) and also the highest balance they reached in the year. This information is shown in a tabular form as well as in a horizontal bar chart. It also has 2 types of reports that you can print.
