Account Payments are viewed in Account / Billing / Transactions

Transactions Panel
The Transactions panel towards the left of this screen allows you to select existing transactions to view and edit on the Edit Transaction panel to the right. Actions are also available in this panel which are shown as icons above the Filter text box. The available actions are described below.

Edit Transaction Panel
The information in this panel reflects the currently selected transaction. From here you can view and modify transaction details (fields will display a red left border if a value is required and purple text if the field is read-only and cannot be modified).
Transaction Fields and Options:
Date: the date of the transaction
Posting Date: the date the transaction was issued from a reporting / financial period standpoint
Issued Invoice: auto-populated, read-only field which displays an invoice number if the selected transaction has been issued to an invoice. If the transaction has not been issued to an invoice this field will not be present
Amount: the transaction amount. This can be a negative value to issue a credit (e.g. -50)
Service: the service the transaction relates to. Taxes applicable to this service will be added to the transaction charge
Package: auto-populated, read-only field which displays the account-package name when the transaction is added by a bill run. This field will not be present on manually added transactions
Start Date / End Date: allows you to specify the date range that the transaction applies to. E.g. the charge / credit is being applied for services rendered from the 1st to the 30th
Usage Identifier: auto-populated, read-only field which displays a usage identifier when the service that the transaction relates to is a usage based service
Detail: details regarding why the transaction was added. Depending on how invoices are setup this information may appear on invoices, therefore it is best if the detail entered is brief and clear
Taxes tab
This tab will appear for billed transactions and will display the taxes charged on top of the transaction amount billed (if any taxes were applicable). The taxes that are charged depend on the service that the transaction relates to.
Discounts tab
This tab will appear for billed transactions and indicate if any discounts were applied to the transaction amount.
Invoices tab
This tab will appear for billed transactions and will display the invoice that the transaction has been added to.
