The Inquiry tab of the Customer Management module provides a record of all transactions for a selected Customer. It may be used to locate an updated/posted transaction by filtering the list of records. Original and outstanding amounts are shown for each transaction. Moveware utilises a positive and negative convention to indicate debit and credit transactions. e.g. an Invoice is shown as a positive amount and a payment or credit note is shown as a negative figure.

Outstanding transactions are shown in the Inquiry tab by default, while toggling the “Show Zeros” toggle will allow review of all activity for the customer, including non-outstanding transactions. The tab also provides a summary of all outstanding transactions for the Customer by Current, 30 Days, 60 Days, and 90 Days. The Inquiry tab may be used to view individual Receipts or to display a consolidated view of payments applied to multiple Receipts.

Hold/Unhold	The Hold/Unhold button allows outstanding invoices and receipts to be put on hold. Placing a hold on a transaction will highlight the outstanding balance in purple. Once a transaction is put on hold, it disables receipting/applying on the transaction.

Consolidate Receipts	Receipts may be viewed as Consolidated Receipts by selecting the Consolidate Receipts checkbox on the right side of the Inquiry tab.
Using Apply View	The Apply View becomes available once Show Zeros is selected. Once activated, it will list invoices with all the transactions that are applied to those invoices below. It is an effective way to locate receipts/deposits on an invoice.
Viewing Unallocated Receipts	Received payments that have not been applied to a transaction are processed as Unallocated Receipts. The payment amount is entered in as a Receipt, but not posted or applied to an existing Invoice. A Receipt applied to a Proforma Invoice from a Job Plan prior to formal invoicing will appear as an unallocated payment with the Outstanding balance highlighted pink. Once the proforma invoice is posted to the Customers Ledger, the applied receipt will apply itself and be allocated. Use the Unallocated toggle to show any Receipts that haven’t been allocated to an Invoice or Invoices that have not been posted. If your system allows Receipts to be allocated to Unposted Invoices these will not be displayed. To view an unallocated receipt, select the Un-Allocated checkbox on the right side of the Inquiry tab.
