**Note**
- If you cannot see some of the options described here, it likely means your user account does not have permission to use these areas.
- If you have Custom Fields enabled for Customers, these will also show up on this screen.
- Another reason you may not be able to action some of these options is because they have been deactivated by your accounting system. These can sometimes be activated with limitations. Contact us to find out more about this.
