After the opening ceremonies, we break out into 3 groups for a free-form question and answer period. The breakout session groupings are Accounting, Management and Technical. I opted to sit in on the Accounting Breakout, which was moderated by Deb White, one of the trainers from our Professional Services division, with assistance from Cande Estrella, Director of Technical Support, and Kim Repass, Support Team Lead. Following is a sampling of the questions and answers from the session:

A number of excited user conference attendees joined Deb White at the new class featuring the Enhanced Bills and Statements program. If you aren't familiar with it, enhanced bills and statements allows you to streamline and customize the look and feel of the AR process for billings to homeowners.

Our Accounts Receivable module received some much needed love today with some exciting new (and often requested) features. The main impetus for these changes was the passage of Nevada Law NRS 116. This law requires that fines and violations have an AR ledger and history that is independant from other AR charges, and that interest on these charges is delayed, and does not begin calculating until a 60 day period has passed.
