  • 1.  AR Period end - aging customer invoices

    Posted 10-17-2020 16:19
    Running AR period end for one of my customers takes 20 minutes or more, most of the time spent 'aging customer invoices.' Yes, they have a lot of invoices but the aged invoice report doesn't take that long. Why/what is it doing during period end??

    How many records are in the open invoice table?  Might have some impact.  And what version of Sage?  ADV or STD?  Are you running at the server?

    About 80,000 open invoices. v2019 advanced and yes, I am running it on the server. Twenty-eight minutes for the last month.

    Any add-ons? I have a customer with an add-on that changes the links in the Crystal Report for the Aging report. It takes over an hour to print any aging regardless of number of records, including ABC

    No, not really any add-ons but this isn't a Crystal issue. It is aging customer invoices when running period end.

    A couple of thoughts:
    Try rebuilding the sort files before running period end.
    Maybe the status messages on the screen are not accurate and it is something else that is actually running in that time.

    Actually, I think it is a WAD....  From way back I remember that it recalcs the aging when PE is processed......  And I think it recalcs when statements are printed as well.  How many days are paid invoices retained before being purged from the open invoice table?

    80,000 is a lot of "open" invoices.  Maybe copy the company to a History Company then purge some of the older paid invoices?
