Frequently Asked Questions
Will this change affect existing invoices for this customer?
Changes to customer details (such as name, address, or contact information) apply to future invoices. Existing completed invoices retain the details that were on the invoice at the time it was created.
What is the difference between a cash customer and an account customer?
A cash customer pays at the time of service, so there is no outstanding balance. An account customer can be invoiced and given payment terms, allowing them to pay later. You can track account customer balances through the customer balances report.
