   To filter the list by contact or organization, enter the name in either the Contact or Organization field, and press ENTER.
4. Click next to the contact's name.

   Accrual Updated To	Click and select the date when the accrual amount is updated to. This field only applies if the selected entitlement source is accrual-based.
