Using the Payment Selection Tab

The Payment Selection tab offers an alternative way to retrieve and pay transactions.

To perform additional processing, such as make part payments or apply analysis dimensionsClosedCustom objects that allow you to analyze the activity in your business in additional ways, such as by cost center, project, employee, or any other business entity important to you., you must work with the proposal from the Payments tab.
