Understanding AR Account Statements

AR statements are easily managed with the MyPMS system.When a Company is created, a corresponding AR Account is automatically setup in AR Accounts.

When a Direct Bill payment is applied to a booking in the Folio, then then a statement will automatically be created for Direct Bill payment with the guest details and amount.

The Statements displayed for each Company are listed by most recent date charge and will add to the current non-statemented Invoices.

From the AR page you can directly export a statement to PDF, XSL, CSV format or click on HTML and the system will open the statement in a new printer friendly window.

Individual Statements

Each statement in list contains the bookings that are associated with the statement. All bookings that have not been associated to specific statement will be listed under "Non-Statemented Invoices". To see the individual bookings and to make payments to the statement, click on the statement and it will expand and display a summary of the bookings with the balance due. Here you can print the statement or enter payments. See AR Payments

Each Statement can be opened as HTML, EXCEL, CSV or printed to PDF.

  • "Print Statement"-Displays summary list of all bookings in the Statement
  • "Print Detailed Satement" - Displays a summary list of all bookings in the Statement AND the details of each Folio referenced in the summary statement.  Therefore, if you have a Company that wishes for a summary and all of the detailed folio info to be sent with the Statement, use the Print Detailed Statement, and choose either HTML (to print and email a quick copy) or Excel to send an editable and easily modifiable version.

Once the account has been selected, you are directed to the Uninvoiced page for that account. Receivables on an AR account can be paid in by each individual receivable or a single payment for the entire invoiced amount. In the example above there are two outstanding receivables.

To pay off an individual charge click the circular arrow to the right of the charges balance and the pay amount will be auto entered and the AR balance will be recalculate. Next choose which payment method to use, normally a check or a credit card and click Apply Payment. The the A/R system will make payments to the Folios and if it is a credit card payment, authorize the amount. Any authorization errors are displayed to screen. The example below shows a cash payment being received and applied against the charges for booking 161766 and folio 2664.
Because there can be many folios attached to a booking on the AR system we create a "holding" folio which is listed on the AR. This contains the summation of all Direct Bill events across all folios on the booking. This folio number is searchable and will always pull up the primary folio on the booking even though the holding folio number differs.

The system will automatically create a new statement and move all selected charges and a new statment will show up under the AR account.
