There are two ways to print an account statement in CATS. One shows you all accounts at once, while the other automatically filters to only show items from one account.

The Account statement can be printed from the Accounting > Account Statement menu choice. The Account Statement is a unique format, set up like a letter to the counterparty showing all open invoices for one account. If you print a range of accounts, each account’s statement will open in a new file (or print on a new page).

Note: This is a different report format from the report printed under the Accounting > Accts:Name/Addr > Print Report menu option, which includes the Aging report. See Session 5A for that report.

There are several format options for printing the Account Statement from CATS. The types of reports are described in this section.

The Standard report Here is a sample Standard Account Statement.

This format can be set up to print with your company’s logo and letterhead, so that you can send it directly to the counterparty as their account statement.

A Transactions Account Statement shows a list of the transactions that have been entered for that account, usually for a Date Range. Unlike the Open Invoices format, this shows all transactions for the counterparty, not just the

Below is a sample Transactions Account Statement.

You may have noticed the Print menu option available on the Account Details Review screen. This menu choice allows you to print several report types, using an automatic account range that encompasses just this one account. So if you are reviewing the account INTERRA, you will see only items on these reports for INTERRA. If you have reviewed COFFBUY instead, you will see items only for COFFBUY without having to set the account range yourself.

The Open Invoices option takes you to the list of saved Report of Open Invoices formats. From here you can print any open invoice report you want to see - for the account you have selected. CATS creates an automatic account range selecting just this account and applies it to all of these report formats. To see more on printing the open invoices report, refer to the section on the Report of Open Invoices above.

The Account Statement choice takes you to a list of saved Account Statement formats. This is the same as using the Accounting > Account Statement menu choice to print a report, but the Account Range filter is automatically set to include only the account you are currently reviewing. See Session 5C for a detailed explanation of the Account Statement.
