User Settings for the Customer Ledger


View - Settings - User  - Settings per Module - Customer & Supplier Ledger


User settings only apply to you and will not affect other users of the system. This allows you to tailor the customer and supplier ledger modules in order to work in an efficient manner. Through user settings you decide how the customer/supplier ledger should be laid out and function. You have access to user settings through the Customer/Supplier list, Ledger list, Aged analysis, Balance list and via the Settings per module tab in your user profile.
