This charge-based report retrieves all charges that fall into a selected date range. It then brings over all (or date-specified) transactions attached to those charges such as adjustments, payments, and refunds. It is sorted by practice, location name, and service item.
To access the report in NextGen® Enterprise PM, select the Reports menu and select Monthly, then select Service Item Summary, and then select Extended Amount and Transactions.
From the Report Filter window, select the Info button to view the following information about the report:
Logic:
- All charges and transactions are tracked to the primary payer on the encounter.
- All transactions are tracked back to the original charge:
- If only a charge date range is entered; all charges within the specified date range are displayed and all transactions associated to those charges, regardless of date, are displayed.
- If both charge and transactions dates are entered, all charges within the specified date range are displayed and only transactions within the specified date range that are associated to those charges will display.
- If only a transaction date is entered, all charges in the system will display and the transactions within that date range will display.
- If no line item data is selected in the columns tab, the report will ‘roll up’ to the highest level. In other words, If only the Financial Class and Charge Amount columns are selected, all charges for each Financial Class will appear on a single line without all the detail.
Filtering Info:
- Charge Create Date is hard-coded and stamped by the system when the charge is entered.
- Charge Process Date is set as the system date, but can be overridden (with security) at charge entry by the user.
- Charge Service Date is entered during charge entry by the user.
- Trans Post Date is hard-coded and stamped by the system when the transaction batch is posted.
- Trans Process Date is derived from the Batch Header when the batch is created. If this is left blank, the system will populate the process date with the posting date.
- Trans Transaction Date can be set at the Batch Header or overridden in transaction entry by the user.
Common Uses:

Balances to the Following Reports:
- Unapplied credits do NOT appear on this report because they are not associated with a service item, therefore it is not recommended that this be used to balance transactions.
- When the same filtering criteria is used the charge column will balance to the Daily Charges, Activity Detail and the Monthly Change in A/R report.
