In this section of the newsletter we review selected items from the recent releases of SAS2000.

Fee Payer Reports	The option to report by the Fee Payer's Classification and Pay Frequency has been added to the following reports. Aged Trial Balance Fees Trial Balance Outstanding Balance Statement Summary This will provide the ability to print these reports based on the payment arrangements you have with fee payers. The Fee Payer’s Classification and Pay Frequency information is recorded on the Payment tab of their contact record, located in People > Contacts.
Fees Trial Balance	The option to report on outstanding student fees per year level has been added. With 'Show outstanding student fees for year' selected the report will only list the outstanding student fees; it will not show Family fees, Bill items or Credits. The exception to this is if you select the option ‘Show all outstanding items if only remaining student’; the report will then list all the outstanding items for those students, in the selected year level, that have no siblings at the school. This report will be useful to follow up fees for final year students that have no siblings attending your school, prior to the student leaving.
Outstanding Purchase Orders	We have added a number of enhancements which improve the functionality of this report. The ability to filter on the GL Account by; range, wildcard and report group. Enables the creation of reports on a subset of the information. Two new sort options, GL Account and Report Group. The report format was changed to make it easier to read. The option to start each report group on a new page, to make the information clearer and distribution easier.
Bank Reconciliation	When there are no unpresented items for a bank reconciliation the Reconciliation report can now be printed stating this and giving the Bank Reconciliation Summary information. Previously when this situation occurred the report was not available. This will be useful for filing with your end of month reports to indicate that all items at the close of this bank reconciliation period had been presented.
