The Excel File Export menu:
This Excel File Import option is very informative, it provides lots of information on debtors and their debts. This option creates information that can be sorted and used to analyze existing debtors and debts for all account code/departments or just a single account code/department. Prior to this option being available a local government had to request the Clearinghouse to generate an excel file for them. And it probably included additional debts that are not in the local government's current database, debts that had been deleted or replaced by an import. But running locally provides only the debtors and debts that are current.
