Viewing Transactions on Customer Accounts

Use the A/R Ledger window to view all A/R transactions in chronological order for the last two years' worth of data with the most recent transaction listed at the bottom of the window. This window includes all payments against the account, including those attached to sales orders with payments on account, deposits, cash receipts, and cash sales from close counter order.

Use the standard table functions to sort information or the View Manager to display or create alternate views to best suit your business needs.

Note: If you select a customer that is a parent customer, or has dependent customers, the system displays information for the parent customer and all its dependents.
