Validating Balances Forward

Validating Balances Forward batches is necessary to ensure the correct beginning balances are recorded for your residents. The A/R aging totals entered into PointClickCare must balance to your aging report from your legacy system, not including the prebill for the Go Live month. Validating your beginning balances is critical to maintaining accurate billing and financial statements going forward.

Warning

Balances Forward must be entered and validated within 30 days of your Go Live Date.
