Age analysis

Isah Finance uses the three periods you enter here to build the age chart on the Payments, All Open Debtor Items and All Open Creditor Items forms. This chart provides a quick way to analyze open items. Isah Finance checks the Days Overdue column, which shows the number of days from the invoice date:

• If the number of days until the due date is less than or equal to the value in Period 1, the invoice will be in the green section of the age chart.
• If the number of days is less than or equal to the value in Period 2, but greater than the first period, the invoice will be included in the blue section.
• If the number of days is less than or equal to the value in Period 3, but greater than the second period, the invoice will be in the purple section.
• If the number of days in the Days Overdue column is greater than the value in the third period, the invoice will appear in the gray section of the chart.

Payment settings

These settings affect the payments generated by Isah Finance if you use the Create SEPA Payments feature.

The Create SEPA Payments feature will generate an XML file for which you specify a path name in the Payments Folder field. If no path was specified in the Payment settings, or if the path does not exist, you cannot create any payments, and the Create SEPA Payments wizard will display a message to this effect.

Isah Finance names the XML file based on the format displayed to the right of the Payment file prefix field. In the Payment file prefix field, enter the string to be used as the prefix of the file names, for example 'SEPA'.

Auditfile settings

Use the Auditfile folder field to specify the default location of your database export file. You can create this export file using the Export XML Auditfile option. Before the export starts, you can still choose a different folder, if necessary. If you do not specify a folder, the export file is saved in the My Documents folder by default.

Exporting and importing consolidation file settings

Use an Auditfile to transfer a database to a different Isah environment before you start consolidating. This process involves exporting the consolidation file from an Isah environment and then importing it into another Isah environment, after which you perform the consolidation process.

The export and import of a consolidation file requires the following settings:

• Auditfile import folder: This is the location of the imported file that will be used for the consolidation process.
• Auditfile export folder: This is the location where Auditfiles are saved, including Auditfiles to be used for the consolidation process.
• Summarize by default: Select the default summarization method to be used for the Auditfile that will be used in the consolidation process. The data are compacted to ensure that they are exported and imported more quickly. You can choose how the data are to be summarized: by period and ledger, or also by cost centre and cost category.

You also need to specify a unique day book for the import of the consolidation file.
