Customer Details

Form ID: (AR402000)

You use this form to track outstanding balances for a specific customer. You can select the branch, financial period, currency, and Accounts Receivable account–subaccount pair used for the customer; you then view the list of documents associated with the customer that meet the specified criteria.

By default, the form displays the list of open customer documents (that is, those with the Open status), but you can add to the list closed documents and unreleased documents by selecting the Show All Documents and Include Unreleased Documents check boxes, respectively. The balance of documents with the Refund and Voided Refund types is treated as a payment with a reverse sign.

Note: Cash sales transactions are shown as split into Cash Sale and Cash Sale Invoice transactions.

This box is required if the Multiple Base Currencies feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

Customer

Required. The customer whose open documents you want to view.

The list of values may be limited as follows:

  • If a branch is selected in the Company/Branch box, you can select a customer whose settings permit the use of the selected branch(the Restrict Visibility To box on the Financial tab of the Customers (AR303000) form contains this branch, the company of this branch, a company of a company group, or is empty).
  • If the Company/Branch box is empty, you can select a customer whose visibility is not restricted to the branch, company, or company group to which the user's role is assigned.
Period The financial period for which you want to customer documents. If you make no selection, customer documents related to all open periods will be displayed.
Currency The currency of the documents to be included in the list. Leave the box empty to display all documents that meet the other criteria you have selected.
AR Account The AR account used for the customer.
AR Subaccount The corresponding subaccount.
Show All Documents A check box that indicates (if selected) that closed documents (that is, those with the Closed status) are included in the list. The check box is not displayed if a financial period is selected in the Period box.
Include Unreleased Documents A check box that indicates (if selected) that unreleased documents (that is, those with the On Hold and Balanced statuses) are included in the list.
Use Master Calendar A check box that indicates (if selected) that the data in the table will be shown for the master calendar. That is, with the check box selected, the table will show the customer details posted for the master calendar. If the check box is cleared, the data in the table will be shown for the company calendar. If the Company box is blank, this check box is selected by default.

This check box appears on the form only if the Multiple Calendar Support feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

For details on running consolidated reports and inquiries, see Consolidated Reports for Companies with Different Calendars.

Include Child Accounts A check box that you select to view documents of both the parent account and its child accounts. If this check box is selected, the Balance by Documents, Current Balance, Prepayment Balance, and Balance Discrepancy boxes (in the Selection area of the form) will display the consolidated balance for parent accounts that have child accounts for which the Consolidated Balance check box is selected on the Billing tab of the Customers (AR303000) form.

The check box appears on the form if the Parent-Child Customer Relationship feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

Balance by Documents A read-only box that displays the total balance recalculated for all of the selected customer's documents that match the selected criteria. (The balance shown in this box will not change based on whether the Show All Documents check box is selected because Closed documents do not affect the balance.)

The amount in this box is equal to the Current Balance value minus the Prepayment Balance value. If you have no selection criteria specified on the current form other than the customer, the same value is displayed in the Balance box on the Customers (AR303000) form.

Current Balance A read-only box that displays the customer balance retrieved from the Accounts Receivable account history for this customer, which is stored in the database.

The value in this box is the sum of the Balance by Documents and Prepayment Balance values.

Prepayment Balance The balance of customer prepayments calculated for the selected criteria.
Balance Discrepancy A read-only box that displays the difference between the Balance by Documents value and the sum of the Current Balance and Prepayment Balance values. If unreleased documents are not included (that is, if the Include Unreleased Documents check box is cleared on this form), the Balance Discrepancy value should be zero. If the value is nonzero, there may be errors in the database. In this case, we recommend running the Recalculate Customer Balances (AR509900) process to find discrepancies in records.
Retained Balance

The total amount of unreleased retainage withheld from the customer invoices in the selected branch at the end of the period (if specified) or at the end of the last activity period (if the period is not specified).

This read-only box appears on the form if the Retainage Support feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

The table contains the list of documents matching the criteria specified in the Selection area. The amounts or balances on customer payments are shown as negative values.
