If you are printing a check out of IHMS with 13 or more invoices on a single check, there simply isn’t enough room for all 13 invoices on the check stub. Instead of printing the work order/invoice info on the check stub, it will print it on a separate remittance form after the checks are done printing. It will actually ask you whether you would like to print remittance forms (Yes or No?). I like to explain in training sessions that you should always say yes to this question. Because if you don’t have any remittance forms to print, it will bypass this process without wasting any of your time. Best case scenario, you will never accidentally say no to printing remittance forms when you really need them to print.
IHMS is forgiving though, if you forgot to print remittance forms or had a printer paper issue, it asks you at the end of the check printing process if everything printed correctly. Saying no will take you back through the loop of questions allowing you to reprint lien waivers, vendor letters, and remittance forms. However, if you realize after a check run is complete that you need the remittance forms and didn’t print them, you have an ace in the hole, Check Inquiry.
The Check Inquiry program will for the most part allow you to reproduce a remittance form. Just go to Accounts Payable > Vendors > Check Inquiry. First you’ll have to narrow this screen down to just one check number. Best way to do this is change the toggle for Invoice Co or Disbursing Co to “Disbursing Co”. Change the Check Lookup Method to “Selected Check”, and type in the 6-digit check number before clicking the Print button. Continue reading Reprinting Remittance Forms
One of the common Invoice Entry misnomers is that if you are splitting a single invoice between two companies you have to enter half the invoice in Company A, then exit invoice entry, change your company, and enter the other half of the invoice in Company B. If you are asking yourself if there is an easier way, well you’re in luck, because there is a much simpler approach. Continue reading An Easy Way to Enter Invoices for Multiple Companies

While working with a homebuilder in Texas, who is in the middle of an exciting software implementation of IHMS, I was asked a stellar question: “What are the 5 best reports in IHMS?”.

No doubt with the recent release of IHMS3.1101, the reports look better than ever, but what reports are the best as far as running your business? The tough part about determining the 5 best, however, is that the Integrated Homebuilder Management System boasts more reports than I care to count.
