The Payment Form
From: Main Menu -- Add/Edit Customers -- Right Click Popup Menu
NOTE: Move the cursor over the picture of the form. When you see the little hand thingy
appear, you can click on the item to get more information!
You can view all the customer's payments, add, edit, or delete payments using this form. After you are done changing payment records, it's a good idea to look at the Order Summaries Form to make sure the information is correct.
NOTE: The menu to the right (with customers, receivers, etc.) is displayed whenever you right click inside the form you are working in, allowing you to quickly move from form to form as you enter customer information.
Order Date: If you leave the order date blank, it is automatically set to the latest order date of the customer; if there is no such date then today's date is used. If no order is found containing the order date and the customer id, a new order is automatically created, in this case an order with a payment but no receivers, programming, product or services.
