If this is your first time printing statements, you should perform a test run of the Statements before ordering a large stock from your printing company (some may even give you a small quantity to test). Since printers and hardware vary and can affect the printing of forms, it is VERY IMPORTANT to line up your statements and verify their format. For samples of actual forms to give your printing company, please contact our Support Services Department at 800-860-4327.

|
Pre-Printed Form | Are you using pre-printed forms or plain paper. Y or N. |
Print Full Sheets? | Do you want to print a full sheet invoice (Y) or short (N). |
Print REMIT TO literal | Do you want to print the words 'Remit To' (#5 on the form). Y or N |
Print BAL DUE literal | If using a Pre-printed form, do you want to print the words 'Balance Due' (#6 on the form). Y or N. |
If FORM, Prt Co Nm/Adrs | If using a pre-printed form, do you want to print the company information (#1 on the form). Y or N. This is useful when you have multiple companies with different names. You can have your printing company create generic forms without the company information and then print that information when the statements are generated. It saves you from having a unique form for each company. |
Postcard/Mailer indicator | If using Postcards - enter PCARD to have the system generate Postcards. If using Mailers - enter MAILR to have the system generate Mailers. If using Long or Short form Statements - leave this field blank. Note: On Demand and Reprint Statements will always use the Statement format vs Postcards or Mailers. |
Print Remit To Nm/Adrs | Do you want to print the Remit To Name and Address fields from the Company Master (#5 on the form). Y or N. |

Statement Exception List | If the Customer's Balance Due does not meet the minimum (see next option), do you want an exceptions list to print to show which accounts didn't generate a statement? |
Statement Minimum Balance | What is the minimum Balance Due required for a statement to be generated. |
Cust/Billing Address Format | Certain areas require specific formats of the billing address for mailing purposes. We offer 3 different options on how to print the billing address on your forms: Note: These options do not display the 2nd directional field found on the customer profile screen. That directional field will always print at the end, regardless of what option is selected. |
Zip Code Format | You have the option of printing your zip codes in US formate 99999-9999 or Canadian format 999 999. |

Summarize by | Option 1 = By Auto Charges. This allows you to print one Summary Description line on your statements for all auto charges (such as 'Monthly Commercial Services') instead of each detail line. This is helpful in competitive markets where you don't want to show the price for each service. It's also helpful when you want to itemize the different services you perform for the customer (such as trash pickup, recycling and green waste) on their account but don't want the customer to see the individual line items on their bill. Option 2 = By Charge Code. This is designed for use with master/sub accounts. It's useful for HOA's or Municipalities where you bill the master for a large group of subs. It will print one line for each size/charge code instead of listing each sub address separately. Option 3 = Tax Separately. This allows you to print all auto charges on one line (like option #1 above) but it will print the taxes separately. |
Ticket # on Stmt/Inv | This allows you to print the disposal ticket# on either a Statement, Invoice, Both or Neither (don't print). |
Suppress Qty/Rate | This allows you to suppress (not print) the Quantity and Rate columns on your Statement, Invoice, Both or Not Suppress (print them). |
Subtotal Options | You have 5 Subtotal options when generating Statements that print taxes and fee's. Option 1 = No Subtotals. This is the option where we print each line (both charges and taxes) individually in the body of the statement with no sub totals at the bottom. Option 2 = Sub & Detail. This option prints the individual lines in the body, plus it also prints subtotals at the end of the Statement summarizing the charges and taxes/fees. Option 3 = Only Subtotal. This option excludes the taxes and fee's from printing in the body of the statement and only includes them as a subtotal at the bottom of the statement. Option 4 = Segregate +D. This option is similar to Option 2 in that it prints the taxes and fee's in the body of the statement, but it summarizes and subtotals them by description at the bottom of the statement. Option 5 = Segregate -D. This option excludes the taxes and fee's from the body of the statement, but it summarizes and subtotals them by description at the bottom of the statement. Click here for detailed examples of the Subtotal and Summarize options. |
Other Options Available by Contacting Softpak Support. |
|
Print WO#'s for Balance Forward customers | This option will print the Work Order #'s in the detail portion of the statement for any Balance Forward customer. Work Order #'s automatically print for all other accounting types. |
Print Qty as whole number if no decimals | Soft-Pak usually prints the QTY field as 1.00 for a quantity of 1. This option will set the programs to print the whole number (1) instead of the standard (1.00) for any quantity that doesn't contain a decimal amount. |
Summarize by Charge Code Option | The cycle master has the option to summarize by charge code. In our standard program, this option will look for an exact match on sz/cg and price in order to determine which records to group together. If you would like this option to ONLY group by sz/cg, regardless of price, then call support and we can activate that for you. |
Summarize Prorations | If the cycle master is set to summarize by auto charges, this option will also summarize the prorations from auto charges. The description of the proration will be used for the summary. |
