  8. Opening Balance: Opening balance of a customer or supplier before you start using iconicERP. So if there is any previous balance you can add it here.

  2. Pay Due amount: You can use this button to pay the due amount for a customer or supplier. This will pay the overall due amount for all invoices.

Changing the default customer name

If you want to change the default customer name “walk-in-customer” to something else follow the steps below.

Credit Limit for Customer

Credit limits can be added to customers.

When the credit limit is reached the partial or credit sale can’t be done for those customers.

To set the credit limit Go to Contacts > Customers > Action > Edit > More Information > Credit Limit.

NOTE: Do not set the credit limit as 0 for having no credit limit.
