Best Practices on Reports

Modified on Wed, 8 Oct at 4:14 PM

Pre-Invoice Reports

1. Recurring Billing Proof

Important: Cornerstone ONLY generates this report for approval prior to the first invoice run. After this, it is the dealer's responsibility to run this report and review the accounts set to invoice next.

When to Run: One week prior to invoicing

2. Pre-Billing Audit

We recommend running this report at least once a month prior to invoicing so you can catch any accounts that have "past next bill dates" and potential issues related to the upcoming billing cycle.

When to Run: One week prior to invoicing


Month-End Reports

None of these reports are required for you to run, but they are recommended based on our experience with our customers.

Important Note: Cornerstone does NOT report your sales tax for you. You will want to run our sales tax report based on receipts or revenue.

1. Sales Tax

Generate based on receipts or revenue. Speak with your accountant to determine which method to use if you are unsure.

When to Run: Once a month, typically at month-end

2. Aging

Review unpaid accounts by days past due.

When to Run: Once a month, typically at month-end

3. Invoice History

Use this report to:

  • Review accounts invoiced in a specific time period (what did I bill out this month?)
  • Review invoices paid and unpaid in a specific time period

When to Run: Once a month, typically at month-end

4. Cash Receipts

Use this report to:

  • Review receipts paid in a specific time period
  • Filter to review only write-offs, local postings, CFI postings, etc.
  • Review receipts for a specific set of related accounts

When to Run: Once a month, typically at month-end
