Customer credit review Helps users trace the effect of credit documents on the customer account. Use it during follow-up, balance review, and customer queries.

Recommended Workflow

  1. Open the appropriate customer credit list for the type of credit you want to review.
  2. Search for the customer, date, or reference you need.
  3. Open the selected document and confirm the amount, reason, and status.
  4. Review how the credit affects the customer account or whether it has been used already.
  5. Use the result in follow-up, reconciliation, or customer communication.
