How to report on Deposits for General Billing?

Context
  • Munis
  • General Billing
  • Deposits
  • Apply Deposits
  • Payments Report
Cause

Munis currently does not have a native General Billing Deposit Report. Not to be confused with the Deposit Report, which reports on Payment Entry Deposit Entries. 

Resolution

Use General Billing Deposit Reporting using the Payments Report occasionally compiled with exporting to Microsoft Excel for further drill down for accuracy. The most important fields within the Payment Report is the Charge Code(s) selection (Version 11: Report Layout - By Charge Code) to isolate only GB Deposit Charge(s) and to Display only selected charges or charge groups (Version 11: Charge Code Options - Charge Range). Everything else is deferred to the user for dates, any other details and how the report is organized. Once accepted and selected, users are encouraged to use the Excel Output, choose a Report to Export selection and then produce the Excel sheet to sort and filter within Microsoft Excel. Support should also note that this report will not report on the current amount of the GB Deposit after some has been applied but will only report on the GB Deposit Receipt information as it was originally entered. 


Accounts Receivable Development is now working on MUN-418250 as a feature enhancement to add the ability to Export a General Billing Report from the Apply Deposits program. This will bring functionality for users to be able to export current available General Billing Deposits.
