Accounts Receivable Comments Dialog Box

Use the Accounts Receivable Comments dialog box to review, edit, add, or delete AR comments for the current project's billing client.

You can enter AR comments in either Vision or iAccess. When you save and refresh the data, the other application will automatically update. Sharing the comments between the two applications ensures that you have all of the information that is related to the invoice in one location.

When you open the Accounts Receivable Comments dialog box, it displays the existing comments for the client that you have access to. Your ability to view, add, edit, and delete AR comments is based on your role's access rights, which are assigned on the Accounting tab of the Roles form in Vision (Configuration > Security > Roles):
  • Accounts Receivable Comment Review Access: Full access allows your role to see all comments, By User access allows you to only see your own comments, and None prevents access to comments.
  • Accounts Receivable Comment Update Access: Full access allows your role to add, edit, or delete comments; By User access allows you to add new comments as well as edit or delete comments where you were the last one to update the comment; and None prevents update access to comments.
