AR Invoices: Tracking AR Documents

An AR document goes through the following states during its life cycle:

  1. Recorded: Documents that have been entered but not released
  2. Released: Documents that have been released but not closed
  3. Closed: Documents that have been released and closed

In MYOB Advanced, you can track information about Accounts Receivable documents in each state by using inquiries and reports in the module.
