To more easily see which customers have outstanding transactions, the Accounts Receivable module lists only those customers that have at least one open receivable, even if all transactions net to a zero balance. This list can be sorted and filtered for investigation, and editing a record will open the list of receivables for that customer.
Add – Creates a new AR entry for the customer and type you select.
Edit – Opens the receivables records for the selected customer.
Apply Finance Charges – Applies interest charges to the selected customers configured to allow these charges on the Customer Billing tab. This also requires setting the monthly interest charge rate in Company Settings and the Accounts Receivable area.
Batch – Allows creating a group of customer payments for entry that can be considered as a deposit, or generate a list of electronic fund transfer (EFT) transactions authorized by the customers. Read the Batch Receivables EFT for more information about electronic customer payments.

Filters – Set or select record selection criteria to display only the records that meet the criteria.
