Why does the data available in the Customer Balances report differ from the data available in the Customer Balances Summary report?

The Customer Balances Summary report includes the customer balances for the selected period, whereas the Customer Balances report includes the customer balances that are applicable for the selected period and future dates.

To access the same information found in the Customer Balances Summary report, you can export the Customer Balances report while excluding transactions created on future dates. The information will not be within the report itself but will instead be available in the exported file. Here’s how you can do this:

  • Go to the Reports module in the left sidebar.
  • Select Customer Balances report under Receivables.
  • Click Customize Report on the top left corner of the page.
Customize Report
  • On the Customize Report page, check the Generate balances as on the selected date without considering transactions created at a later date option.
Generate reports as on selected date
  • Click Schedule Report to schedule the report.
  • In the pop up that appears, check the I want to protect this file with a password option if you want to secure the file. Enter a password of at least 6 characters in the Password field.
