Deal Payments

Read what a customer has paid and record a payment against a deal

Track payments to see how much of the sale price has arrived and how much is still outstanding.

Requirements: The Financial Summary needs Deal Financial Access. The figures Received, Outstanding and Awaiting, and the Payments tab, need Financial Records Access. The Record button needs the Record Payments & Costs permission.

  1. Open the deal.
  2. On the Overview tab, read the Financial Summary.

Notes
