how to change fields in "Find Invoice" dialog box

[R. Victor Klassen]

Try again.

First, go to the Business menu.

At the top of that menu, you will see Customer >

Hover over that.

At the bottom of the menu that appears is Process Payment…

Click on that.

A new window appears.   It has a blank at the top left for the Customer’s name.  Fill that in with the relevant customer, and you should have a table below that has columns 
Date    Number    Type    Debit    Credit

On some or all of these the type is “Invoice” the amount under “Debit” is the amount due.


At least that is how it works on my version, which is 2.6.3.  Not the freshest, but I don’t know that this part has changed.
