Print Open Balances on Invoices #
There is also a Print Balance Due All Invoices option on the Reports page in Maintenance > Preferences > Company Preferences. If you check this option, the software will print the customer’s total open balance at the bottom of each invoice, in addition to that invoice’s balance.
