Customer Balance Revaluation Report

Use the Customer Balance Revaluation Report to identify customers with credit (negative) balances. The enterprises in certain countries are required to enter a manual journal entry to adjust the general ledger balance for these customers.

The report provides you with two results:

  • Independent from the accounting entries for your receivables account, this report gives you the balance of your customer and the open items that make up the balance. It takes into account on-account receipts.

  • The report lists the customers with a negative balance only, customers with a positive balance only, or both positive and negative balances, depending on the setting of the Customer Balance parameter. This information is needed for countries that require a separate entry on the balance sheet for customers with a negative balance.

Use the results of this report to determine the amount you need to manually adjust your general ledger balance to reflect the difference between the original balance and the revaluated balance. You would then reverse this entry at the beginning of the following period to resynchronize your receivables with general ledger accounts.

Note: Make sure you have entered an End-of-Period (EOP) rate for each currency used. If any EOP is missing, the report notifies you that the results calculated may be incorrect.

Run this report in conjunction with both your customer account reviews and reconciliation activities.
