Portal Accounts Receivables
This article explains how to navigate and use the Accounts Receivables section in the Portal, including viewing customer balances and sending statements or invoices.
The Accounts Receivables section in the Portal helps you manage outstanding customer balances, track overdue amounts, and quickly take payment-related actions, all from one centralized location. This makes it easier to stay on top of cash flow, reduce missed payments, and streamline your collections process.
Accessing the Portal
From your Dashboard, navigate to the "Portal" tab from the left-hand panel.
The Portal will open in a separate window. Click on the "Accounts Receivable" tab in the left-hand panel (dollar-sign icon).
Accounts Receivables Options
At the top of the Accounts Receivables page, there are the following tabs:

The QuickBooks Sync tab is only relevant for users using the old Quickbooks API. It allows you to check the sync status with QuickBooks.
