    Filtering Dates on Reports

    I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "open" Suspense date... if you mean where there is no Suspense date, the you would use "Is Null" as the criteria on that field (excluding quotes). If you're looking for something else within the Suspense field, please clarify, I'm sure we can fix it.
