Comparing Classic Eagle Accounts Receivable to Accounts Receivable for Windows

You may already be familiar with the classic Epicor Eagle™ Accounts Receivable (AR) application. You know how to use the various functions and reports, including Function MCR (Customer Job File Maintenance), Function MOI (Open Item File Maintenance), and Report RAG (Aging Report). This topic compares the classic AR application to the Epicor Eagle™ Accounts Receivable (AR) for Windows application so that you can understand the similarities and differences between the two.

Displaying Functions and Reports

Where is the Main Menu? With the classic AR application, if you want to display a customer record, you type MCR at the Main Menu and press the Enter key.

With the AR for Windows application, the Main Menu has been replaced by the Eagle Browser. From the Browser window you can display a customer record using either of the following methods:

• In the list in the left pane, click Applications. Then from the list in the right pane, click Accounts Receivable Menu. From the next list that displays, click Customer Maintenance.
• In the top pane, in the Launch box, type MCR and press Enter.

The Browser is very similar to the Main Menu. If you know the acronym for the window you want to display (such as MCR for Customer Maintenance), type the acronym in the Launch box and press Enter.

If you don't know the acronym, click Applications from the list in the left pane, then click an applications category from the list in the right pane, and then click the name of the window you want to display.

You can also click the arrow to the right of the Launch box to display a list of recently accessed windows. From this list, you can click one of the choices to display the window.

Functions and Reports

Use the following table to map the classic AR function to AR for Windows. In the first column you'll find the classic AR function or report name and acronym. In the second column is the AR for Windows name and acronym. This is the acronym you type in the Launch box to display the window.

Some windows in AR for Windows are accessed after you display a main AR window, such as the Customer Maintenance window. For example, to display the Open Item Maintenance window, first display the Customer Maintenance window, then click the Go To button on the menu bar (or from the Action menu), and then select Open Item Maintenance.

If a classic AR function or report is not found in the table, then it is not yet available in AR for Windows. You can still access the classic function or report from the Main Menu, using Network Access.
