Use the Detail tab to view and enter detailed information about the selected customer payment and to apply customer payments to customer invoices.

As you enter information in this tabbed page, the application automatically updates those fields in the Rapid tab, so the information on both tabs is always in sync.

Choose Actions > Manage Customer Payments and then click the Detail tab. Use the Navigation buttons buttons to scroll through the saved payment transactions.

Note: You can use the Actions > Apply Customer Payments screen to apply multiple AR transactions for multiple customers at the same time.
