Trust Account Summary

The Trust Summary Report prints total amounts in trust for all clients. This report uses information from transactions posted, invoices generated and payments received. You can select a date range to cover in the report. The Trust Summary Report totals the number of accounts displayed and calculates an average amount.

This report:

1. Prompts the user for a date range
2. Lists and totals all payment transactions in the date range that have a positive amount in the to-us field.
3. Totals To Us and To Us related commissions on statements found in the date range.
4. Lists and totals negative payment transactions in the date range (NSFs).

* Total payment transactions are CREDITS to the trust account.

* Totals numbers from statements and NSFs are DEBITS to the trust account.

If you want a more detailed trust account report, please choose either the Client Trust Report or Debtor Trust Report. Those reports summarize all transaction activity based on transaction types.

Using Internal Reports

These reports are important for tracking financials accurately and reconciling statements. They work well for basic simple payments and occasional NSFs to accounts. More sophisticated methods require custom reports to accommodate more complex details. This can be accommodated.

Any of the internal reports may be replaced with your own customized version. To make Collect! run your own custom reports via the Print menu, Daily, Monthly, Analysis and Trust reports, change the Start On to something other than INTERNAL, depending on the particulars of your report, and place your own report codes in the Report Body of the report.
