Fleet Statements

NexGen’s Fleet Statements function allows you to print all payment, credit, debit, or invoicing activity for all of your active fleet accounts. The fleet statements will print in a format that conforms to #9 Standard Invoice Double Window envelopes. This will allow you to simply fold the invoices and place them in the envelopes without having to write the mailing or return addresses. Note that the return address at the top of the statement can be configured under Settings: COS Setup.

Normally, you will print your fleet statements every month. The statement end dates will normally be on the last day of the previous month (in the following examples, we are using February 1 to February 28 as the billing period, with February 28 as the Statement End Date).

Before you print your statements, you may need to Close Cycle for the previous statement date. The Billing Cycle refers to the date range of activity for your statements. After you print your invoices, you will close the billing period based on the last day of that month (in this example, January 31). Now, when you send out your invoices for this billing period (February 1 – February 28), the system will know that the billing period ended on January 31 and will only print activity after that date.

...

  • Start Fleet Name, End Fleet Name These fields allow you to choose the range of fleet accounts you wish to print. The accounts are sorted alphabetically by name, and these options automatically list your first and last fleet accounts – in other words, all of them. Press the arrows to select a specific fleet if you wish to only print one, or a particular range of fleets.

  • Print Accounts by Groups Allows you to print invoices by groups of accounts that you have previously set up

  • Print Accounts with No Activity and 0 Balance ‘Yes’ will print all statements from all fleet accounts, even those with no activity or open balances. ‘No’ will only print statements from accounts with activity or open balances since last billing cycle.

  • Statement Date This will default to the current date, but will normally be set to the last day of the previous month.

After clicking Start, you will be asked if you want to close the billing cycle. If you click OK, the billing cycle will close after the statements print. We recommend that you click Cancel here, and manually close the cycle after you verify that all statements printed successfully and are accurate. Note that you can’t undo a closed billing cycle.

Account Inquiry

Fleet Account Inquiry allows you to view all payment, credit, debit or invoicing activity for a particular account for any date range.

Note that payment activity is tied to the invoices it is applied to – so, the date range will display all invoices during that date range, plus any payments, credits or debits tied to those invoices. If you are searching for a particular payment, you will need to set the Start Date back far enough to cover the original invoice date.

Balance Management

NexGen’s Balance Management function is where you input fleet payments such as checks and automatic deposits.

Select the Fleet you would like to add the check to

...

In the above example above, I selected ARI Fleet Services

You should now see the screen below

...

This is where you input the Date of Check, Amount and Description (Check# or other information)

...

Next, click ‘Apply Payment’ (below the Description field) and you will see all of the invoices with open balances

...

In our example, you can see that the $40.00 check is going to pay for Invoice #113024.

In the payment field we type in $40.00, and the remaining $2.19 will be typed in the Discount field. We’ll call this the account’s “processing fee.” Check the paid box to mark the invoice as paid.

...

After you type in the amounts and check the paid box, you can see that the invoice has been completely paid and $0.00 Remain. Now click ‘Apply Payment’ at the bottom of the page. The payment has now been applied to the invoice(s) you selected.

...

Credits and Debits

The Credits and Debits function allows the user to quickly post credits and debits to an account.

A Debit is a charge against the account, meaning the account will owe you more. A Credit will decrease the balance of the account, and normally reflects either a discount or a payment made by the account.

Simply indicate the type (Debit/Credit), dollar amount, transaction date and a brief description, then click Save. The transaction will be posted immediately.

Note that after posting a credit, you will need to go to the Fleet Payments screen to apply the credit to an open invoice.

...

Invoice Management

NexGen’s Invoice Management function allows you to transfer an invoice from one fleet account to another. This function is normally used when correcting errors that were made at the store(s). In our example, we are transferring invoice 30300 from Steve’s Plumbing to ABC Industrial since it was cashed out incorrectly at the store.

...

Undo Payment

The Undo Payment function allows you do undo a fleet payment if it was entered incorrectly. To do this, type in the check number and search, then click the ‘Undo Payment’ button.
