I'm newbie on FMP. My problem is any idea or info for statement account? about the date amount calculated. Pls help!

FileMaker Version: Dev 6

Platform: Windows XP

I think I would try this with 2 (or 3) tables. 1 for the Account, one for Billing Line Items and one for Payments (though payments could be in the same file as Billing Line Items.) In the Account file, have a number field for each Aged Balance. Use a script to figure out each Aged Balance (I'm assuming that for Aged Balances, there could be a balance in more than one.)

Figuring out each Aged Balance is not trivial--you have to check the credits vs billing items for each date range. This could be done with a multi-key date range relationship, but it can be pretty complex to set up.

Maybe there's an easier way.

Ender,

Becouse I'm newbie at filemaker, I'm not really understand you good ways. This is I understands from you.

1) Create a Account File

2) Payments (create portal field-->Bill Line item)

3) In Account File (number field-->Calculation {{Today date - Invoice Date}} so I get the Age from each Account file.

4) Use the Script to figure out each aged (my problem start from this step, I'm newbie on FMP can you pls send the way of script to me?)

5) Total I don't understand what this step mean.

Last thank for your reply, hope can get your message again!!!
