Generate bills and create statements are two different functions. You can't generate useful statements if you don't do bills, as statements are a recap of bills and payments, but you don't have to run statements.
Hope this helps. If I misunderstood your question please let me know.

Perhaps I'm miss-nameing something. I do see that Statements is it's own thing. What I'm talking about it, when we run bills if a client has no new slips, but has a previous balance. A 'blank' invoice is generated. I know they are different than a regular invoice, because the invoice number is a different set and the 'blank' ones have an I: in front of the number, where a regular invoice has a G: in front if it.

Does that make sense?

Basically, I want to exclude the I: ones and only generate the G: ones.

Thank you

When generate bills check on options and there are options to exclude clients with no activity or paid in full.

Okay, under Options I have

Limit Data:

Show bills with balances but not activity
Show bills with funds activity only
Include Client who are paid in full
A/R transactions obey the slip date ranger filter
Include payments with unapplied amounts
Release slips marked hold

I have them all unchecked, but I'm still getting invoices from clients that only have previous balances, but no new activity. Especially if they have AR transactions.

Thanks
