Client Analysis Report
The Client Analysis Report prints an analysis of a selected
Client or a range of Clients. The report totals all new business
during a selected date range, all debtor payments received
during this time period, and results. Totals are printed
for the number of accounts and payments. Total values and
averages are also printed.
The report lists monthly totals reflecting all business reported
in the selected date range. The report also lists yearly
totals for all business. For the Year To Date totals, Collect!
reads the year from the FROM field and TO field in your date
range. Then it prints totals from January 1st of the FROM year
up to the TO date selected in the date range.
The Client Analysis Report's Results columns show Liquidation
percent, Cost Factor (average commission), Yield, and Year To
Date commission amounts.

4) Results
Liquidation Percentage
This is the percentage of collections over listings.
Liquidation percentage =
(year to date payments / year to date account values) x 100
Cost Factor
This is the average commission percentage for the Client.
Cost Factor =
(year to date commission / year to date payments) x 100
Yield
This is the average amount of commission per account.
Yield =
year to date commission / number of accounts entered during
the date range.
Year Commission
This is the year to date total commission.
Year Commission = Sum of all commissions
for the date range.
When the totals are calculated, the program scans
through all the client's debtors and transactions and adds up
the principal, interest and debtor payments. For clients with
many debtors, this may take some time.
Running The Report
When you run the Client Analysis report, you will be prompted
for three things -- Client #, Clients with billing period, and
Date Range to include in the report. These are explained below.
Client #
Select a range of Clients to include in your report.
This allows you to choose a specific Client or a range
of Clients in numerical order by Client #. If no Client #
is specified, the report will display all clients.
Clients With Billing Period
Select the billing period you wish to report on.
This allows you to choose a specific billing period
to include in this report. The billing period method
must be selected first in your settings for specific
clients.
Date Range
Pick a date range to cover in this report. Click the small
calendar icon to display the calendar.
The range that is displayed is usually preset to the
current month from the 1st to the 31st of the month.
If you choose an earlier date, make sure you choose
the 1st to the 31st of the month.
If no date range is selected, a complete summary of
all client activity is displayed.
For yearly totals, the report takes into account the
FROM year. Yearly totals start on January 1st of
the selected year.
Enter dates as MM/DD/YY. This report
expects monthly ranges from the 1st to
the 30/31st of the month. If you select
other ranges where dates span across
months, this may produce unexpected
results.

this report. This is the date that your report will begin
to calculate from.
Monthly totals go by month/ day.
Yearly totals start from January 1st of the selected year.

Using Internal Reports
These reports are important for tracking financials accurately
and reconciling statements. They work well for basic simple
payments and occasional NSFs to accounts. More sophisticated
methods require custom reports to accommodate more complex
details. This can be accommodated.
Any of the internal reports may be replaced with your
own customized version. To make Collect! run your own custom
reports via the Print menu, Daily, Monthly, Analysis and Trust
reports, change the Start On to something other than INTERNAL,
depending on the particulars of your report, and place your own
report codes in the Report Body of the report.
