Accounting exports offered by AlayaCare
AlayaCare offers the following core reports:
- Aged receivables (AR) report
- Invoice report
- General ledger and subledger
- Statements (summary and detailed)
- Electronic billing service line report
- Electronic billing subledger
- Unbilled visits report
- Subledger - LHIN
- Direct debit AUS
Note that some of these core reports are specific to agencies using AlayaCare's electronic billing module. Other custom export types may also be available to you depending on your agency's settings.
Aged receivables (AR) report
The AR report is designed to help you keep track of your accounts receivables. It shows the outstanding balances for clients and funders over a set period of time and groups the overdue payments according to how many days have passed since the invoice posting date. Each line in the report represents the total unpaid balance for a client and funder broken down by 30-day intervals to show the distribution of unpaid amounts based on the number of days since the original invoice was sent/confirmed.
The AR report can be used in conjunction with the invoice report or electronic billing service line report (for electronic billing payors) to match the outstanding balances for each client and funder/payor to the corresponding invoices.
This report is currently designed for use with funder types of client individual, funder individual, and funder batched. It is available in CSV format.
Aging information for unpaid balances for client and funders is also available on PDF statements.
You can learn more about the AR report here.
Invoice report
The invoice report shows the current balance of a set of invoices based over a set date range. Each row of the report represents an invoice that has been marked as sent/confirmed in the system. The invoice report is recommended for use with all funder types except electronic billing payors.
You can use this report in conjunction with AlayaCare's aged receivables report to determine which invoices with outstanding balances make up the amounts owed for each client and funder shown on the AR report.
The invoice report is available in CSV format.

General ledger and subledger
You can export a subledger report or a general ledger and subledger report to view a record of the debit and credit entries for all GL account transactions entered in AlayaCare.
The subledger contains a record of all transactions entered in AlayaCare. Each line in the report represents a debit or credit entry for a transaction. Every transaction will consist of at least two entries — a debit and a credit, one for accounts receivable and one for a revenue account. Depending on how you have configured your GL accounts, or if you are using cost centres, a transaction may be broken down over more than two lines.
The general ledger provides a record of the total debit and credit entries for each GL account by the month of the entry's posting date. Each line in the general ledger represents the total debits or credits per GL account. There will be two lines in the report for every GL account.
The general ledger and subledger are available in PDF, CSV, and TEXT format. You can learn more about these reports here.
Statements (summary and detailed)
The statement-summary and statement-detailed reports are PDF exports that allow you to view all transactions for a client and funder as well as the account's opening and closing balance for the selected date range and an aging report for any unpaid invoiced amounts.
The detailed statement includes further information about the billable items on the invoices (for example, unit, quantity, bill rate, etc.) You can generate these statements for all clients and their funders or for select clients and funders. Note that this export is only supported for funder types client individual and funder individual.
The statement-summary and statement-detailed exports are only available as PDFs. To view the statement information for a single client and funder in CSV format instead, select the statement by client-funder accounting export.
You can learn more about statements here.
Electronic billing service line report
The electronic billing service line report can be used as an alternative to the invoice report for electronic billing payors. As in the invoice report, each line in the report represents a single sent/confirmed invoice and a single sales transaction, which is equal to a single service line on a sent claim. This report also contains additional electronic billing-specific information, such as debit or credit bank adjustments for each service line.
The electronic billing service line report is available in CSV format.
Electronic billing subledger
The electronic billing subledger report should be used for viewing the debit and credit entries for all transaction types involving electronic billing payors. Each line in the report represents a debit or credit entry for a transaction. Every transaction will consist of at least two entries — a debit and a credit, one for accounts receivable and one for a revenue account. Depending on how you have configured your GL accounts, or if you are using cost centres, a transaction may be broken down over more than two lines.
Note that despite its name, this report will pull in transactions for all funder types, not just electronic billing payors. It is available in CSV, PDF, and TEXT format.
Unbilled visits report
This accounting export is specific to agencies using electronic billing. It allows you to view a list of all approved visits funded by electronic billing payors that have not yet been included on a claim. Each line in the report represents a single visit.
This report is available in CSV format.
You can learn more about this report here.
835 payment report
This accounting export is specific to agencies using electronic billing. It allows you to track how the payment from an 835 file has been mapped to individual claims and service lines in AlayaCare. Each line in the report represents a payment that has been mapped to a service line or a claim if the matching service line could not be determined (in other words, there will be one line per service line ID or per claim ID if the payment could not be mapped at the service line level). You can use this report to help you identify any unmapped payments and correct any errors that may have prevented the payment from being mapped.
This report is available in CSV format.
You can learn more about this report here.
Subledger - LHIN
This subledger report can be used for viewing the debit and credit entries for all transaction types when billing items to the LHIN. It will only be available to Ontario agencies that have the LHIN integration feature flag enabled. Each line in the report represents a debit or credit entry for a transaction. Every transaction will consist of at least two entries — a debit and a credit, one for accounts receivable and one for a revenue account. Depending on how you have configured your GL accounts, or if you are using cost centres, a transaction may be broken down over more than two lines.
This subledger report will also contain additional information about billable items from the invoices as well as LHIN specific billing information. It is available in CSV, PDF, and TEXT format.
Direct debit AUS
For Australian organizations with the direct debit AUS feature enabled to generate payments in bulk for client individual-type funders, you will have access to the direct debit AUS accounting export. This export type allows you to create a custom export in Australian Bankers Association (ABA) format that can be sent directly to banks so that the payment can be processed.
You can learn more about direct debit AUS and this export type here.
