From Paul W:

I know you guys have been working on the AR/AP stuff for the new software (or are at least in the planning stages).  Attached is a "modern" version of an A/R statement (unlike the Ecometry crap we use) that I would like the new system to be able to generate.  Basically it segregates the types of debit and credit invoices/memos by type for easier reconciliation.  Right now everything is just lumped together like crap and we have to end up creating our own spreadsheets each time we want to reconcile.  To have the new system do this would save an INCREDIBLE amount of time on our reconciliations.  Yeah, Ecometry does generically categorize debits and credits by type, but not to the level of detail that we need and it just dumps the crap on the statement the old fashioned way which makes things a living hell most of the time.  As you can already see there are three main categories - Invoices, Chargebacks & Credits, and several sub-categories.  Obviously an A/P statement is just the opposite of the A/R, so it should be pretty much the same thing. 
 
By the way, most systems now generate a statement like this in spreadsheet format at a touch of a button.  No importing, exporting, tweaking, reformatting, blah blah blah...just click and voila!   Sure you already know all that and I'm not trying to insult your intelligence- don't get pissy. :P  Just thought I would pass the attached statement sample along as this is a good example of one of the important features I'm looking for in a new system.  Additionally, one of the new things we are seeing is that others are allowing us the ability to log in to their systems/websites to see our statement at any time  That's slick.  I've also seen systems that automatically e-mail invoices, statements and past due notifications which is pretty cool, and offer the ability to just check the invoices we want to pay and have our bank account debited via ACH.
 
Since ACH is playing a much bigger role in our payments and collections, when you get around to the money part of things let me know.  We need the ability to create ACH credit and debit batch files for cash receipts and disbursements to submit to our bank for processing.   This includes electronic processing of mail order checks so we can significantly reduce order hold times, etc..
