Importing Initial Customer Balance
Reference No: 25617
(V 02.00.16-00)
Importing Initial Customer Balance from Previous Application
Details
In CR2, the Initial Balance of Customers can be carried forward from the previous application, by importing their unpaid Invoices.
This will in turn affect the Credit Available for the Customer.
These unpaid invoices have to be paid off in full to regain the blocked credit.
These invoices cannot be processed in any other way in the application other than receiving payments against them. For example, they can't be printed, exported out, cancelled and so on.
To import unpaid invoices from the previous application to CR2, please refer Cr2DataConversionReadMe.doc within the sqls.zip file.
The application won't restrict you for importing paid invoices, as well, from the previous application.
Payments can be received against these invoices by selecting the appropriate tab delimited file in Import Payment Details dialog box (accessed by clicking Invoicing > Import Invoice Payment Details icon) and choosing the following options, as shown in Figure 1.0. The column details of the tab delimited Payment Details File is provided in Table 1.0.
Update = Invoice Balance/Customer Payments radio button.
