Explaining the different reports

There are various reports that you can use in okke. Each of them can have different uses ranging from tax-time essentials to helping your Customers pay you. 
 

Activity 

The Activity Report is a summary of sales and customer activity for the period. 
 

Adjustment Notes

Just like the name sounds, this is a report containing the Adjustment Notes you have created over the selected period. You can choose whether to create the report for all Customers or just selected Customers. You can also display fall or Unassigned Adjustment Notes. 
 

Aged Debtors

The Aged Debtors is a great way to see who is late to pay you. The report shows the amounts owed to you by customers based on age of outstanding invoices. The Customer with the longest time without paying is listed first. 
 

Sales Invoices

This Report created copies of all the Sales Invoices you have created. You can customise this report by Customer or Invoice Type (Quote, Finalised, Unfinalised etc). This Report can be a good way to view all the invoices you have sent to a client in one spot.

This report generates a list of invoices for the selected period. It can give you an overview of your invoices at a glance.
