Most businesses send statements to customers who have outstanding balances at the end of a month. Statements will be generated using the statement form you choose at the time of emailing or printing, and you can personalise your statement form to suit your business needs.

Once you've  set up AccountRight to send emails, you're good to go.

Here's how to print or email (or reprint or resend) statements one at a time or in a batch.

titleTo save statements to disk

To save statements to disk you'll need third-party software to "print" (save) the statements as PDF documents. Windows 10 has a built-in Print to PDF option which you can select when printing, or you can use a program like Adobe Acrobat or CutePDF to provide the ability to print (save) documents as PDFs.

Once you have the ability to print to PDF, when printing statements in AccountRight and you're prompted to choose a printer, choose the PDF printer from the list of printers. This saves the statements as PDF documents.

While there isn't a "print preview" function to see what your customer statements will contain, there are a few ways you can do it.

If you want to see (or change) the fields on your customer statements, view the statement form (Setup menu > Customise Forms > Statements > Invoice or Activity then open the statement form you use). Learn more about personalising your forms.

Here are 3 methods for viewing statement content:

titleWhy does my statement print multiple copies when using multi-currency?

Why does my statement print multiple copies when using multi-currency?

There's a known issue in AccountRight 2019.3 where printing statements for customers who deal in multiple currencies produces separate statements (PDFs) for each currency. Our experts are working on this and we'll release a fix in a future update.

Emailing statements isn't affected, so a workaround is to email customers their multi-currency statements.
