Significance of A/R Summary button in FD32 transaction

Question

If you go into FD32 to look at the customer credit on the status screen there is a "A/R SUMMARY" button. When we first chose this button we found the data to be very old and out of date. We also found that if we ran FCV1 "Create the AR Summary" it updated this information which is great. Unfortunately it does not seem to update unless you run this transaction periodically.
What is the significance of having this button when the 'Receviable' value can be viewed in the FD32 main screen?
Also is there any way by which we can make the system to automatically updated the information in this A/R Summary?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Put the FCV1 program as a background job to run using SM36.
