Customer Balances
Access this form using Activities>Accounts Receivable>Display Customer Balances. |
Use this form to view balance, document, and transaction information for a customer either on a specific document or within a date range (Date From and Date To). You can view transactions for All Activity, Open A/R Invoices, All A/R Invoices, A/R Credits, or A/R Payments Received.
After entering the Customer ID and the Lookup From transaction code, you can select a specific Document Number, A/R Account, and date range. Then click the Display button to view the documents for the criteria that was specified. If needed, click the Clear button to clear all boxes on the form and the document information in the table.

Account Level Security is available for this form. This feature allows you to define the account codes a user can view in the A/R Account box and the Level 3-Transaction view of the Customers Transaction Table. Note that if a user does not have Account Level Security enabled, the user will see all account codes.

The Currency, Source Original Amount, Source Outstanding Balance, Source Applied Amount, Source Currency, Source Debit, Source Credit, Rate, Invoice Currency, Invoice Debit, Invoice Credit, and Source Amount fields are only available if you have installed and added the Multicurrency module. The amounts in the Customer Transactions table follow the formatting of the currency of the source/invoice currencies. The Total Selected Transaction field displays the Source Original Amount, Original Amount, Source Outstanding Balance, or Outstanding Balance.
Customer Information Customer ID: Enter a valid customer ID, or select one from the drop-down list. The customer name then displays to the right.
Customer Transactions: Use this group box to decide which documents appear in the Customer Transactions table.
- Lookup From: Enter a transaction code, or select one from the drop-down list. Your choices for transaction codes are All Activity (AACT), Open A/R Invoices (OARB), All A/R Invoices (AARB), A/R Credits (ARM), and A/R Payments Received (ARC).
- Document Number (Optional): Select a document number. This selection serves as a filter so that the system only displays the specified document number. If left blank, all documents display in the table for the selected transaction code. The dates will not be available since a document number can only have one date.
- A/R Account (Optional): Select an A/R type (Accounts Receivable - Customers) G/L account. This selection serves as a filter so that the system only displays balance information for this account number. If account level security is applied, you may not have access to this box.
- Date From, Date To: Select the date range for the documents you want to display balances for in the table. If the same date is selected for both boxes, the documents created on that day display. This filter only applies to the original document (Level 1); the associated documents are not filtered on these dates. If dates are not available, ensure that the Document Number box is blank.
Customer Transactions Table: This table displays document information for the type that was chosen in the Lookup From box. The column names change accordingly.
- All Activity: all transactions associated with the Customer ID, including CR - Transactions>Enter Cash Receipts and CRS - Activities>Receipt Writing
- Open A/R Invoices: all outstanding invoices
- All A/R Invoices: all invoices
- A/R Credits: all credits and prepayments
- A/R Payments Received: all payments received, including CR and CRS
This table supports the drill down feature, which allows you to view transactions from the document level through the detailed transaction level. You can click on the plus (+) sign next to a transaction to expand the outline. When an item has been expanded, the plus (+) sign becomes a minus (-) sign. To collapse an item, simply click the minus sign. The following sample shows the three levels of detail:

- Finance charges are represented as an invoice. The invoice number is assigned by the code.
- If Level 2 contains any of the following Transaction Type codes, double-click any cell within that row, and then the system displays the detail transaction line on the designated form.
