Earned-Prepaid AR Report

You can use the Earned Prepaid AR (Accounts Receivable) report to compare a student's account balance to the deferred tuition balance. Schools use this report to confirm that they have collected the amount of revenue they have earned from the students.

A school earns revenue from students over a period of time. If a student's account is up to date, in theory, a school will have collected the amount of money from the student that they have earned as revenue. Therefore, the amount that is left to earn for a student (deferred amount) could equal the student's account balance.

For example, if a school has earned $5000.00 on a student, and still has $5000.00 deferred (unearned), the student's account balance would be expected to be equal to or less than $5000.00. If the student's account balance was $8,000.00, the school could recognize revenue of $3000.00 earned, but not received. Likewise, if a student's account balance is zero, with $5000.00 deferred, the student has prepaid the amount of deferred revenue. This becomes critical when reporting unearned revenue on financial statements.

If you frequently generate reports with the same selection criteria, you can save the selection criteria under a name. This makes it easier to generate reports in the future with the same selection criteria.

Procedure to Generate the Report

    As Of Date Closed Specifies that you want the report to contain data up to this date.

    CampusesClosed The campus or campuses to which a person or item is assigned. It is filtered to display the campuses to which you have access. In some cases, it is also used to filter a list to only those items for the campus. In some lists, you can select more than one campus or select All. In lists that display columns, if the column contains more than one campus, you cannot sort or filter on that column.

    Load Saved CriteriaClosed Select the required saved criteria that you want to load in the selection criteria fields.

    ProgramsClosed The name of the program. Programs are configured by your institution.

    Student ID to PrintClosed Specifies the ID that is printed. The values are Student Number, Enrollment Number, and None.

    Student StatusesClosed Specifies the status of the prospect or student at your institution. Statuses vary by institution. They are configured by your institution. If you change the status for a student, a dialog is displayed so that you can confirm the change. If there are also tasks associated with the previous status, Anthology Student displays a dialog that you can use to select the tasks to keep and the tasks to close with the result of canceled.

    Note: If you entered special characters like *, -, !, (, or ) in the report fields, Anthology Student automatically prepends an apostrophe to those field values upon export to Excel or CSV. The apostrophe is added to reduce vulnerability, as these characters are perceived by Excel as an actionable formula. Once the report is exported to Excel, Anthology suggests using find and replace on the characters only if necessary to restore original values.
