Title: Customer Credits

---

Customer credits created from the Customers menu are credits that can be applied to any invoice for that specific customer.  Customer Credits are applied to a customer invoice by opening the customer invoice (from the Receivables tab on Proposals) and applying the credit from the Receive Payments (once the invoice has been opened) tab.

These credits are considered "gift certificates", meaning that they can be applied to any customer invoice for any reason.  These are not credits that you need to issue on a specific line item.  See the section on the Proposal Receivables tab for applying credits on a specific line item.

Clicking the 'Customer Credits' menu item will display a list of all existing customer credits as shown below:

The Sort Options function allows you to filter the Customer Credits that are displayed in the main Customer Credits window.  The Sort Options link is in the upper right hand side of the window under the Pagination controls.
