Customer Opening Balance, Debit and Credit

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ThivaKar 931

Hi All,

Would someone please explain me how is the Customer Opening Balance is calculated?

In which Table Opening Balance , debit and credit amounts are stored?

I have a issue in customer balance report. The Closing Balance is calculated as Opening Balance + Debit - Credit.

If i understood how the Opening Balance , Debit and Credit are calculated for a customer, it will be really helpfull.

Does the closing balance should match the sum of the AmountMST in the CUSTTRANS Table.?

Please give me some idea about this.

Thanks,

Rusty

    Hi Rusty,

    The data that is shown in the customer balance list report comes from the CustProvisionalBalanceTmp table.

    That's a temporary table that is calculated at runtime.

    Additional details on how the balance is calculated can be found in the CustBalanceList class, which is doing the calculation once the report is run.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    The current balance for a customer account is always the sum of AmountMST in table CustTrans for that customer.  The balance at the end of any transaction date is the sum of all transactions on/before that date.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the heads up! Now, it makes sense after i checked the CustProvisionalBalanceDP class.

    I have a small doubt here. We run the report by selecting BillingClassfication (F-CRN,F-INV).

    There is sum of AmountMST which is 73929.12 in the CustTrans Table for

    CustTrans.CustBillingClassification = 0 and sum of AmountMST which is 189929.12 CustTrans.CustBillingClassification = recid(F-CRN) and sum of AmountMST which is -23928.12 CustTrans.CustBillingClassification = recid(F-INV).

    My doubt is,

    1. there shouldn't be any AmountMST for CustTrans.CustBillingClassification = 0 ?

    2. from where the CustBillingClassification records are inserted in CustTrans?

    Please Help.

    We have Transactions for few of the customers without  Billing Classiffication.(CustTrans.CustBillingClassification = 0)

    Should these transaction be included for the Customer Closing Balance?

    Hi Crispin,

    If i understood correctly ,then I have to customize the Contract class to include these transactions? right?

    Hi,

    In the DP Class, Only for the two different postings, Free text invoice(F-INV) and credit notes(F-CRN) are calculated as i see.

    The buffer brings CustTrans.CustBillingClassification = 0 records, but it is not calculated. Only these two are calculated and it generates in report
