Reflections on 2021 and what’s ahead for 2022
This is always the time of year we seem to take a step back and reflect on what’s happened since the last holiday season. As I reflect on 2021, some things really stand out.
It’s been another great year here in Nebraska! MACC continues to move forward with enhancing the functionality in our products, as well as making technical advancements to keep you moving forward. We’ve been able to adapt to the constantly-changing landscape of the telecommunications industry by quickly adding functionality to accommodate the latest requirements from state and national regulatory commissions. MACC has continued to expand our partnerships with third-party vendors, because our open architecture allows interfacing with vendors who satisfy the needs you have to continue to grow offerings to your end-users.

We sure stuffed a lot of education in!
By now most everyone has enjoyed their Thanksgiving dinner, and in the Thanksgiving spirit, we sure “stuffed” a lot of education in during our November Pop-Up Training classes.
We appreciate all the attendees who enjoyed the continuing education we have been offering in our new(ish) Pop-Up classes. Since COVID, everyone has made countless changes, and one we’ve made at MACC is enhancing education opportunities for our customers by offering as many web options as possible and in various forms. Our first Pop-Up was held in February, our second in June, and our third and final session for 2021 was held in November.

Get an automatic snapshot of account aging
One of our most commonly used Customer Master reports is the Aged Trial Balance report. It can be found in the Reports Suite under Receivables.
This report is commonly used to review the Aging on accounts – which customers have balances in the under 30, 30-59 days, 60-89 days, and 90 and over days buckets. It’s not uncommon for companies to need this report as of the first day of the month, before any transactions occur. You can either run it first thing on the first business day of the month, or you can auto-generate the report.
