Wish #6011 - faster simpler more ELEGANT way to reduce credit limits on overdue accounts


Looking at the steps required to REDUCE credit limits on OVERDUE ACCOUNTS ....  wow .... nothing ...just the old fashion labor intensive way of one at a time ....  gee ...what is up with this ...   We don't want the a SLEDGEHAMMER way of mass modify .... we want an elegant way --like you offer us in the  parts moveup in forecasting ---that allows us to edit changes then apply the resulting updates in a FAST SIMPLE way.

For Multi-store  we will need options similar to forecasting.   Perhaps there is an additional flag ( or two ) that might be added to the customer that allows us to identify at WHAT POINT the customer qualifies for the credit limit change .... most 2% net 10 customers would qualify at 50 days ( for us anyway )  but we have some customers that pay net 60 days and it would be nice to allow us to identify these and set their LIMITS accordingly.

Since we have your attention -- how about one extra nice feature - when we run this list - allow us to see the clerk that changed the  credit limit the last time ... this allows us to ask that clerk if they did in deed get a payment promise -- so we can follow up.

Exploris in general needs a massive upgrade  to help independent jobbers to 'systematize' their approach to collecting overdue A/R.   The fact that the JV's pull the data out and use Oracle does not help our cause in adding system improvements that allow us to minimize our time on collecting -- to maximize our time that we must invest in collecting monies.
