Balance Forward

Use this feature to create credit note lines by matching values against current invoices for the selected customer. Access the Apply Details tab within the AR Credit Note Entry form, and select the Balance Forward sheet.

Options Reference

Each option and field on the form is described below. Mandatory options and fields are highlighted in red.

Invoice values display in a Balance Forward view, which means invoices are aggregated by period and aged values display based on the calendar and current period.

Show children

This is not applicable to a balance forward view.

Show futures

Select this option if you want to display future-dated invoices in the table for selection those not yet due for payment.

Items to apply table

This table displays the aged values associated with the customer. Select the Selected box next to the period to include the value in the credit note. This will transfer the value into the Items Applied table (displayed on the left side of the form), where you can edit the value before saving the credit. This can only be to a value less than the original. Selected values also default to the Applied Items sheet, where you can also edit them.

Information

If you reduce the applied value to an amount less than the original value for the period, Greentree assumes the difference remains unapplied.
