Filter Faster with Efficient Auto Repair Invoice Software

Auto repair invoice software as an efficiency tool

As you know, accounts receivable reports are one of the most important reports accountants need for their routine bookkeeping. These reports show all unpaid customer invoices and vary in their depth and insights, depending on how they sort information.

With robust auto repair order software, an AR report can show accurate current balances so you don’t send unnecessary reminders. As a result, this will help you manage your auto repair business more efficiently.

It also builds stronger relationships with customers when you only pursue the unpaid portions of their invoices. No one wants to spend time going back and forth over a bill that has been settled. When you stay on top of your billing, you wisely invest your time in revenue-generating mode.

Auto repair shop invoice software that works for YOU

With Shop-Ware’s improved accounts receivable reporting tool, shops can use several new features to speed up bill collecting.

Staff can now filter the list of invoices with outstanding balances by:

• Total (RO total $)
• Due (unpaid RO balance $)
• Percent Paid (Total $ / Amount Paid for any unpaid amount less than 100%)

Now, it is easier than ever before to seek invoices belonging to a specific customer or group of customers. It is also beneficial to sort the list of invoices by any of the column headers.

All of this can be done within the Shop-Ware application (rather than exporting to Excel and mining the data separately). This really adds up, particularly when you run more than one shop. The more you can get done within your auto repair software, and the less you have to export, the better.

How to filter within auto repair invoice software

Shop-Ware’s AR Report offers the option to produce extremely detailed reports. Say goodbye to the days of Excel formulas and extensive data calculation.

Once you’ve set your filters, simply check the consolidated report. The Total Amount Due (sum of all outstanding balances) and the Percentage Due (Total Amount Due divided by the sum of the invoice Grand Totals) will appear at the top of the page.

You can drill into the details while reviewing a report that shows information divided by any column header, such as:

• RO Number
• Customer name or email address
• Picked up or RO closed date
• Vehicle make, model or year
• License Plate
• Fleet ID

Easily export the data you need

Once you’ve filtered the report to your liking, you can select the specific line items you want to export. Select a handful of line items or select them all – it’s up to you.

Within seconds, you can quickly export your set of AR Invoices into a CSV file. You can then open this in any spreadsheet application, such as Excel or Google Sheets. Either way, Shop-Ware has you covered since our software is specially designed to be user-friendly.
