Bp Premier ran a recent Be in the Know webinar for users regarding moving from old to new reports. View the list of user questions and answers from the webinar here.
Deprecation of old reports
From the September 2020 Data Update, you will no longer be able to run 'old' reports in Bp Premier. Old reports were retained after version Lava was released, so that practices could change over to post-Lava reporting gradually and still run reports on records before the upgrade. However, all Lava versions are now 'sunset', which indicates limited support for these versions, and legacy reports should no longer need to be run.
Bp Premier management functionality changed significantly for the Lava release. Changes were made to financial records to include adjustments and deposits, and to distinguish between service and payment dates, and service and payment created dates.
For information on what these terms mean, see Which report should I run?. For information on how to use the new reports to pay providers, and why you should use 'service created date' and 'payment created date' reports rather than 'service date' and 'payment date' reports to pay providers, see Use reports to pay providers.
New management reports were created that included all types of transactions and date types. This article provides a summary and detailed description of the key new management reports available, and which pre-Lava reports they most closely match, so your practice can work out which new reports you should be running.
Reports are updated with each monthly data update; to see the latest reports available, select Management > Reports in Bp Premier. Best Practice Software recommend that you check each month’s data update release notes so you are aware of any new reports introduced that may assist in your practice
For information on how to grant report access to users and how to run a report with parameters, see Set up users to run reports.
Summary of new reports for old reports
This table summarises the new reports you should be running in place of older reports. New reports often come in detailed and summary variants. Use the report type best suited for what you want to drill down on or total. Summary reports will process much faster than detailed reports.
If you have not used the new reports before, we recommend that you print the reports well ahead of when you need them and experiment with the three different default grouping options found on the configuration screen. These can significantly change the look of the report. This will ensure that you have identified the correct report and grouping you need to most easily pay your doctors.

Note on usage

Notes on usage
The payments shown use the payment created date (the date that the user performed the 'Check for Payments' in BP) to determine whether they are included on the report. Therefore this report will tie with the Payment and Transaction reports, which also use the payment created date.
However, the payment run date and payment date shown is the date that Medicare indicates the payment was made into the bank account. This date is not usually the payment created date on which the user performed the Check for Payments in Bp Premier.

Note on usage
This report is ideal for use to reconcile against bank statements, because it groups payments by Payment run numbers and Payment run date. These payments should correspond with deposits appearing in the bank account. However, the payment run date and payment date shown is the date that Medicare indicated the payment was made into the bank account, and is not usually the payment created date on which the user performed the 'Check for Payments' in Bp Premier.
Therefore, this report will tie up with the Payment or Transaction reports, but some Payment Runs that appear on your bank statement may not appear on this report if those batches were updated in Bp Premier after the end date for the report.
Debtor Reports
Debtors (grouped by account type)
This report shows all outstanding services as at a specific aging date.
NOTE Grouping on this report differs from other new reports to identify totals owing by Account Type.
Each group can be expanded down to the invoice and service level with a total for each. Outstanding service amounts are broken down into fee owing and GST owing columns each for aging category (Current, 31-60 days, 61-90 days, 91+ days columns).
There are two variations for this report:
- Aged by Service Date - this will display the owing amount in the aging column relevant to the date the service was created and therefore one invoice could be split between multiple aging columns.
- Aged by Invoice Date - this will display the owning amount in the aging column relevant to when the invoice was created and therefore the entire invoice would show in the one aging column.
Refer to your practice accountant / bookkeeper for advice on which method suits your form of accounting
The aging date can be backdated and the report will take into account which invoices / services were unpaid as at that date to correctly report the outstanding amount as at that date.
Replacement for the following reports:
- Arrears summary 1
- Arrears summary 2
Corresponds with the following new reports:
Report name | To generate comparative report |
