Create a summary—Accounts Receivable

These instructions refer to adding the summary itself, not adding items to the summary.

1. Go to Accounts Receivable > All > Subledger > Summaries and select Create.

   We recommend that you set up automatic summaries (daily or monthly) by going to Company > Subscriptions and select Accounts Receivable, then select Configure. The summary date is the date the General Ledger uses to post all transactions within that summary. Therefore, it is important that you do not combine transactions from different time periods within the same summary. Summaries are posted automatically to the GL after transactions within those summaries are saved.

2. In Summary title, enter a name for the summary.

   Intacct uses this name to identify the summary throughout your Accounts Receivable application.

3. In GL posting date, type or select the date you want the items in this summary to post to the General Ledger.

   Intacct autofills the current date, but you can change it.

4. To deactivate (or close) the summary, select Status, then select Inactive. Otherwise, leave Status set to Active.

5. In Summary type, select the type of items you want this summary to contain:

   • AR sales invoice
   • Adjustment
   • Manual deposit

6. Select Save.

   The summary you created is a manual summary even if the auto-summary feature is on.
