VisionTips &Tricks


Vision Tip #1The Vendor “Paid This Year” field on the accounting tab updates when payments are processed not when vouchers are posted.


Vision Tip #2


The Project Detail Report can be sorted by Billing Status (selected on the General

Tab). You can run a report to see the labor hours and amounts that have been

written off.


Note: Any billing items that have been Modified before Writing Off

(example – to add a comment indicating who initiated the write off) will show with a Billing Status of M not X.


You can create a Bad Debt Write Off Report by using the General Ledger Account Analysis Report -

Vision Tip #3


Vision Tip #4

By using the record access tab/record level view field, you can limit the Clients that an employee will see. Example - only the clients on certain projects.


If you’re having trouble importing credit card

charges into Vision – copy and paste into Notepad and then import (as a .txt file).
