The query I'm using to get AR due:

SELECT
     ar.id,
     ar.invnumber,
     ar.ordnumber,
     ar.netamount,
     ar.paid,
     c.name AS company,
     c.contact,
     c.phone,
     c.email,
     c.fax,
     c.customernumber,
     t.invoice_ship_date AS transdate,
     '' AS duedate,
     t.purchase_order_number AS po_number,
     cs.terms
FROM ar LEFT JOIN customer c ON ar.customer_id = c.id
     LEFT JOIN transactions t ON ar.invnumber = t.id_transaction

Drop the left join to transactions.  1.2.x has a known issue where the rule double-incriments the id sequence and so things don't match.  It still provides data integrity and this issue will be corrected in 1.3 (the main issue is just that it prevents you from using this table in a join)..
