December 2005 Feature Story
Issue: Year-End Aged Accounts Receivable Cleanup

Using a combination of ADHOC reports and scripting languages Paul Edwin Long processed unitized allowances. Variable Option File (VOF) and Receivables Policy Manager (RPM) cannot create the correct unitized allowances.

Without this solution, the allowances could only be analyzed and posted manually, an effort that would take months. With our automated result, we cleaned up the receivable in record time.

Result: The client realized substantial A/R clean-up for year end, with no impact on operations.
