Filters
When you first select the Posted Date Day Sheet, you have the opportunity to set filters.
NOTE: If you change your filters, the results in the table below will not change until you click the Apply button.
Providers and Offices
You can filter the report information by provider and office by selecting specific providers/offices in the lists at the top. The report will give you information only for the providers and offices selected.
For production, the Provider/Office pulls from the information listed in the New Charge window. For tax, it is based on the provider in the Charge window for which tax is charged.
For positive adjustments, the provider and office information pulls from the Provider/Office listed on the charge associated with the positive adjustment.
For deposits, negative adjustments and refunds, the Provider/Office pulls from on the Provider/Office listed in the Payment window.
For finance charges, the Provider/Office pulls from the provider listed in the patient's Account tab; however, the provider and office may be overridden by editing the finance charge directly on the patient's Account Ledger.
Show Menu and Start/End Date
The Show menu allows you to quickly select a time period for which to view summaries. The options under this menu are Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, Last 60 Days, and Last 90 Days. Selecting any of these options automatically fills out the appropriate Start and End dates.
If you prefer, you also can manually enter dates into the Start Date and End Date fields. This will show summaries for all the days between the Start and End dates.
NOTE: Even days with no activity will show up in a report. If a day has no activity you will see 0.00 listed in all columns of the summary.
Once you have set the appropriate filters, click the Apply button to see results.
Initially, you will be presented with a line summarizing all transactions for the day. The first column shows the posted date of all transactions. The posted date reflects the day the items were entered into MacPractice and cannot be edited.
The second column, after the Posted Date column, shows production for the day. Production reflects all charges entered for the day. Taxes, finance charges and positive adjustments are not counted as production. If you are using any of the Provider and/or Office filters, production will be filtered based on the provider listed in the Charge window.
Tax: Reflects the amount of sales tax charged that day. The rate at which items are taxed is set in the References ability, by selecting Tax Rate from the sidebar. Click the plus button to create additional sales tax rates. Whether or not tax is charged is determined by whether or not the Taxable checkbox is checked in the Charge window. The rate charged is determined by the rate selected from the pop up menu. Like production, information on tax is filtered by the Charge provider.
Adjustments (+): Shows all positive adjustments made for the day. The associated provider is based on the provider listed in the Charge window for the charges associated with the adjustment.
Write-Offs: This column gives the total of all write-offs entered for the day for all payments. This information is filtered by the provider listed on the payment associated with the write-off.
Refunds: Shows the total of all refunds and reversed payments issued that day. This column filters by the provider listed in the Payment window of the payment associated with the refund. The associated provider is the provider listed when the refund was issued. If the provider was changed after the refund was issued, the refund will maintain the previous provider.

When you first open the report, it will default to View All.
View All

You also can filter the results to show only a single user's actions, by selecting that user from the View User menu.
In the main portion of the detail window, you will see a breakdown of that day's activity.
- Number: The first column in this view shows you the account number associated with the transaction. If the transaction was associated to a specific patient, it will show the full account number for that patient (such as 123-1). If the transaction was associated to the account as a whole, in the case of payments and negative adjustments, it only will show the main account number (such as 123).
- Patient/Primary Name: The next column shows the name associated with the transaction. It will show the patient's name for patient-specific transactions, and the primary's name for any payments or negative adjustments, as these are applied at the account level. The primary's name will even be shown if it is a payment from the secondary's insurance.
- Transaction: The third column gives you a description of the transaction. If the transaction was a procedure, it will show the procedure code. If the transaction was a payment, it will tell you what kind of payment it was, (such as Insurance, Check, Cash, and so on).
- Proc. Date: The fourth column displays the procedure date entered for the transaction. This date pulls from the Procedure Date field for all transaction types. While the Procedure Date field generally defaults to the Posted Date, it can be manually overridden.
- Prov: The next column shows you the provider and office associated with the transaction, using the unique two character ID code entered in the Provider or Office reference.
- Charge: This column shows the total charge of the procedure.
- Pri. Allowed: Here, the Allowed Amount from the patient's Primary Insurance for the charge is displayed.
- Tax: Any applicable Tax assigned to the charge appears in this column.
- Total Payment Amount: This is the total amount that was posted on this day.
- Adj.(+): The total amount that was Positively Adjusted on this day.
- Adj.(-): The total amount that was Negatively Adjusted on charges posted on this day, regardless of when the negative adjustment itself was actually posted.
- Refund: If any refunds were posted, they will appear in this column.
- Write-Off: Any Write-Offs that may have been posted will appear here.
- User ID: This is the ID of the User associated with the line item.
For payments, this will reflect the provider and office entered in the Payment window.
NOTE: Statements, claims, write-offs, positive adjustments and reverse payments will not have a provider listed.

Below this is information on the total deposit for the day, which is a total of all payments. The Accounts Receivable information always reflects the current A/R in your MacPractice database. Even if you are viewing a past day's report, the A/R reflects all transactions entered in the database. In MacPractice the A/R amount listed here is based on the following formula:
A/R = Production + Tax + Pos. Adj. + Refund + F.C. - Applied Payments - Gross Neg. Adj. - Write Off
Below the preliminary A/R, you can see how much of the money owed is from production and how much is from finance charges. For this one instance, positive adjustments are counted as production. It also will break down what is owed by patient and insurance portions. The Finance Charge Balance reflects the total amount of finance charges open. This will match your A/R report, but may be different than your Day Sheet.
The report then subtracts the unapplied balance from the total owed, for the net A/R. If you are unsure about your A/R, you can use the following formula to determine the amount:
Net A/R = Production + Tax + Pos. Adj. + Refund + F.C. - All Payments - Gross Neg. Adj. - Write Off
