This is where you can see the results of all the BBAP actions. For each of the reports generated from this menu you can either view the results on the screen or print them on the system printer. These reports are self-explanatory.
Reports available include the Check Register, Invoice Register, and Cash Needs Analysis. Each report can be viewed on the screen and then printed by clicking the ``Print'' button at the bottom of the screen.
The Invoice Register allows you to select a report comprised of all invoices, only overdue invoices, only paid invoices, or only unpaid invoices. These reports can be requested for all Vendors or for only one Vendor. You can also specify the sorting order for the report.
The Cash Needs Analysis deserves special consideration. This report is, from a management standpoint, perhaps, one of the most useful elements of the entire BasicBooks Accounts Payable system. Using this option you can prepare reports showing how much cash you will need to meet your obligations in up to four future periods. You can specify the periods you want to project by requesting results based on a number of days from today. For instance, how much cash will be needed to pay obligations in the next 10 days, then the next 15 days, then . . . ? Whatever periods you want to examine. NOTE: Cash needs are projected ONLY for items that are stored in the Invoice Database. Future Occasional payment needs are unknown to the program and, thus, are not included in the calculations. So, if you want an item to be included in the Cash Needs Analysis don't forget to enter it into the Invoice Database.
