The Accounts Receivable Invoice (ARI) training in MIP Cloud focuses on consistent, accurate invoice entry, since small errors in AR tend to spread into aging, customer balances, and revenue reporting. The module walks through the workflow from session setup through posting so invoices are easy to track and straightforward to review.

The course begins with ARI 01: Accounts Receivable Invoice Entry, covering how to use the session information screen. Sessions provide the structure for invoice entry, and setting them up correctly makes it easier to review work, run reports, and post transactions without losing context.

You will then cover the invoice fields that drive traceability. That includes best practices for the invoice number field, whether you follow a standard convention or use a custom numbering approach that matches your organization’s needs. Clear numbering reduces duplicate entry and makes it easier to locate specific transactions when a customer calls with questions or when you are reconciling activity.

The training also covers how to code the revenue line correctly so revenue lands in the right place on financial statements and internal reports. Consistent coding supports budget tracking and variance analysis, and it reduces the need for reclassifications after the fact.

You will also learn what to include in the transaction description field so the invoice has enough context to be understood later without digging through backup. This is especially helpful during reviews and audits, where unclear descriptions slow down validation.

Finally, the module teaches how to run an unposted transaction report and post the session. The report is your main review checkpoint before posting, and posting is what updates receivables and reporting in MIP Cloud.

This segment is designed for staff responsible for AR invoice entry and who need a repeatable process for accurate receivables management in MIP Cloud.
