Assets Summary Table

This section lists all unique general ledger accounts, classified as Assets, affected by sales transactions recorded for the hospitalmedical orpractice surgerylisted withinin the report’sEvents timeTable frame.(lower down). For an in-depth understanding of a general ledger account, refer to this link. The appreciation in the value of an asset for each row is indicated by the value on the right side of the row, adjacent to the currency of the appreciation.

For example, if cash sales amounting to USD 200.00 occurred during a certain time period, then a row in the Assets Summary table would correspond to that asset. In that row, the leftmost column would be labeled [ 11110 ] - Cash (USD). The number 11110 represents the account number for the Cash (USD) general ledger account. On the same row, the rightmost column would display USD 200.00, representing the currency and value of the asset gain for that specific asset. It is important to note that more than one asset may be affected by transactions within any given report time range.

Another type of transaction included in a detailed sales report is claims. Each medical aid society group has a specific general ledger account. For each medical aid society, the total amount of claims is presented as a row in the Assets Summary table. For instance, one might see a row labeled [ 11330.09 ] - (AR) Cimas. AR stands for Accounts Receivable, which are assets that are neither cash nor bank transfers, but rather are debts accrued and payable to the practice in due course. In addition to AR accounts for medical aid societies, there is an AR account for Patients and a separate AR account for Corporates. Each row in the Assets Summary table section corresponds to a unique General Ledger Account.
