How to make A/R collection one little bit easier ?

In 2005 ( or there about ) I wrote a memo to others on the Exploris Committee reminding them that the JV stores strip the A/R data out of Exploris and use Oracle. So --if we wanted updated and IMPROVED FEATURES -- the associate jobber could not ride on the JV side's coat tails - we had to ask for what we need ... well ... 5 years latter -- we have very little to show to improvements in ways to COLLECT overdue A/R any easier.

I wrote this .... click here in the summer on unapplied credits ..... well --this issue still exists .... look at the image -- the problem really exists for OPEN ITEM accounts -- if we could ONLY get the CREDITS PENDING bucket to be properly applied to the right aged bucket -- boy would life as we know it be better.

QUESTION - why does Exploris ( Whi NexPart ) bother to use this CHEAP CATCH ALL bucket when the applying to the correct aged bucket would be SSSOOOO MMMUUUCCCHHH BETTER !!
