Accounts receivable register
Customer register

This window shows a chronological listing of all the transactions in your accounts receivable (A/R) account, or — if you're working with a customer's register — all the A/R transactions related to that customer. A customer register is nothing more than a special view into your A/R registers. To provide this view, QuickBooks selectively omits all transactions NOT related to the customer.

You can enter charges to appear on the next billing statement you send to the customer. You can also edit previous statement charges.

Buttons and options

Do this... To
Double-click a transaction Display the current invoice or customer payment in its original form so you can edit it. (This button does not work with statement charges. You edit statement charges directly in the register.)
Click a transaction, and then choose Reports > QuickReport Create a report that lists all transactions related to the name in the current transaction.
Choose Edit > Go To A/R registers only: Jump to the next transaction in which a particular payee, amount, memo, or transaction number appears. Go To searches only in the current register. For details, see Jumping to a transaction in a register.
Click the Record button Record the current statement charge. QuickBooks saves the statement charge and adjusts the current balance.
Click the Restore button Cancel changes you made to a statement charge. Click Restore if you make a mistake while entering or editing a statement charge.
Click the Show open balance checkbox Change the Charged column so that it shows only the amount your customer still owes. Normally, the field shows the full amount of the invoice or statement charge.

For example, if you wrote an invoice for $550 and then received a $200 payment that you applied to the invoice, the amount shown in the Charged column would change to $350, the amount your customer still owes.

Click the 1-Line checkbox Display each transaction on one line in the register. Select this checkbox when you want the register window to display more transactions (it will show twice as many as before).
