Accounts Receivable Customer Aging

SOLVED

Is there a way to put notes on an accounts receivable (sales) invoice after it has been posted?  I am wanting to add collection notes to an invoice showing follow up regarding outstanding invoices.  Ideally I would like to see these notes on the Aged Summary Report, but I would be happy with at least the ability to open an invoice and see the comments.  Thanks for any advice!

    Hi LucyH,

    No, there isn't, the notes can only go on the customer.

    The Sage 50 memo field is OK for keeping track of a few contacts with a problem customer with a followup date, but not as good if you have 'problem invoices' (missing approvals, PO numbers, broken stuff, warranty, etc.) more than 'problem customers'

    One work around could be to 'open in excel' and put contact notes into a new column on the excel sheet.

    You could use copy and paste into another sheet with multiple tabs for multiple months (or whichever contact frequency you use) and add a column with a VLOOKUP to each new to find notes in a previous months' tab.

    A contact database can help, even something as basic as a Google sheet that has the customer name and a few columns for invoice number, date, etc.  can be filtered on a 'resolved' column to show what issues are still open.

    This could be a good project for a 'third-party' addon to Sage 50 Canadian.

    I hope that helps, please post back.
