AR Journals: used to post AR-related GL entries (manual adjustments, credit memo reversals, unapplied-write-offs, bad-debt entries, intercompany or correction entries). They post to AR and the general ledger with a posting date, can be batched/imported, tracked with source codes, and support approvals/reversals—providing an audit trail and preserving accounting integrity.
AR Reports: provide visibility and control—aging, customer ledger/detail, invoice register, unapplied cash/credits, cash receipts, credit memo lists, collections/dunning activity, DSO and trend reports, and write-off summaries. Use them for reconciliation, collections prioritization, month-end close, forecasting, and audit support.
