Accounts Receivable Module

For the Management and Billing of In-House Charge Accounts

Features:                   

	Customer Processing                            Each accounts receivable account whether it be an individual, agent entity or institution may have a charge account with the FSI Accounts Receivable module.  The account master file contains data items such as name, address, contact number, assigned billing cycle, sales tax status and past due interest rate status.  Also included are items such as credit limit amount, available prescription and non prescription discount percentages. The decision of credit status is separate from the prescription filling process.  Two separate accounts are established for a charge account (A/R) customer.  One in the Rx filling system and one in the A/R system.  The A/R account is then linked to one or any number of Rx patients such as family or other group members.
	Account Transaction Inquiry                                 At any time the account can be inquired on screen as to the status of the account.  This information shows the current aging of the account, date of last payment, current credit limit along with unused credit amounts and year-to-date amounts for purchases and payments.  The current transactions are itemized in detail.  Previous period detail items are also available through the previous period inquiry.
	Prescription Pathway Charging Most prescriptions are entered into the accounts receivable module right from within the prescription pathway.  Before the script is actually charged a screen showing the current aging status of the account is presented so as to prevent charging to a delinquent account.  Manually prepared charge tickets may also be entered into the system in batch mode.
	Reports The available reports within the system include monthly aging reports, transaction reports, customer statements either on plain paper, pre-printed statement forms in either a continuous dot matrix format or single sheet laser printer format.  A data mailer format with an integrated return envelope is also available.
	Available Interfaces The FSI Accounts Receivable module also interfaces to the FSI Retail Point-of-Sale and FSI Pharmacy Cash Register Systems.  An ascii text format export utility is also available to download accounts receivable data to other accounts receivable accounting systems.
