Aged Encumbrances

Access this report using Reports>Encumbrances>Aged Encumbrances.

Use this report to print a list of encumbrances using a time factor. The report separates the encumbrances into four sections of time. These sections of time enable you to see how an encumbrance date is compared to an aging date entered on the Options tab. This summary style ledger contains:

  • Data from the detail ledgers and summarizes all entries for an encumbrance. The detail entry amounts for an encumbrance are netted together creating a summary amount due. An encumbrance may net to zero if there are detail entries within the report date range that net to zero.
  • Liquidations made through Transactions>Accounts Payable>Enter A/P Invoices.

Currency fields follow the formatting of the organization's functional currency. The functional currency was determined by the Administrator when the organization was created (File>New Organization>Functional Currency panel).

Use this tab to assign a report name and determine whether or not to include it on the actual report. The report name can be printed in the header or the footer of the report.

Current Period Dates are also required to specify the reporting period for this report.

Use this tab to determine what data to include in the report and to define the report layout.

  • By selecting Available Items, the data is divided onto separate pages. The report starts a new page for each item, and the item is printed in the page header of the report.
  • By selecting Available Columns, the data that appears in the body of the report is determined.

Options Description

Aging Date

This is the date to age the encumbrances. It is the actual date of the encumbrance. The Aging Date defaults to today's date when creating a report. However, once the report is saved, the next time you open it the aging date does not change to the current date. It is saved as the date the report was created (or whatever date was entered), and remains as that date until it is changed.

First Aging Period

Three different aging periods can be entered. The system uses this number and counts back from the Aging Date. The first aging period prints amounts with a date of 1 to the Aging Date. If 30 is entered here, the report includes amounts that are from 1 to 30 days from the Aging Date.

Second Aging Period

The second aging period includes amounts with a date of First Aging Period plus 1 day to Second Aging Period. If 60 is entered here, the report includes encumbrances that are from 31 to 60 days from the Aging Date.

Third Aging Period

The third aging period includes amounts with a date of Second Aging Period plus 1 day to Third Aging Period. If 90 is entered here, the report includes encumbrances from 61 to 90 days from the Aging Date.

Suppress Lines with All Zeros

Select this option so that documents with zero amounts do not print. This eliminates records having zero in all amount columns. If it is not selected, every line prints, even if it has a zero value.

Use this tab to change the font and page setup for a report.

Use this tab to secure the active report so that other users cannot save their changes to it. The user that selects the check box, and then saves the report, is the only user that can change or save it later. This check box cannot be cleared by any user other than the user that locked the report.

In the Report Body group box, similar columns are grouped together and identified with a heading preceded by a collapsed or expanded symbol . A collapsed symbol indicates the columns that belong to the heading are hidden. Click the collapsed symbol to "expand" the heading to see the columns contained within it. Likewise, an expanded symbol indicates the columns below it belong to that heading. For example, when you see Account Code with a symbol next to it, this means that Account Code is a heading and that every code name under it (such as GL Code, Fund Code) stays with the heading when it is moved to the Selected box.
