Client Accounts with Available Credit

Use the Account with Available Credit form to find client accounts that have a positive credit balance. This is especially useful when a client cancels services and remaining credits may need to be reimbursed per policy.

Purpose

  • Identify clients with unapplied credits.
  • Prioritize follow-up actions: apply to open invoices or process reimbursement.

How to use

  1. Open the form and run a search to list client accounts with credit balances.
  2. Review key details (client, credit amount, last activity).
  3. Take the appropriate action per your workflow:
    • Apply credits to outstanding invoices (via your standard Payment Posting process).
    • Initiate reimbursement for clients who have canceled services.
    • Add internal notes and retain documentation for audit.

Best practices

  • Verify the source of the credit (overpayment, adjustment, reversal) before acting.
  • Follow approval and documentation requirements for refunds.
  • Reconcile credits regularly to prevent aging credit balances and client dissatisfaction.
