# Enter Customer Beginning Balances

To enter customer balances, follow the steps below:

1. Get an Aged Accounts Receivable report from your previous accounting system, which you wish to transfer.  It should have the same date as the report that you used for vendors and open payables.
2. Access the Invoices transaction from the Financial\Accounts Receivable menu and start a New Invoice.
3. Enter unpaid invoices in the Invoices screen.
4. Enter unpaid credit memos in the Invoiced screen.
5. Access the Payments transaction from the Financial\Accounts Receivable menu and start a New Payment.
6. Enter unapplied cash in the Payments screen.
7. The customer's balance will be updated with the amount of each invoice, credit memo or payment entered.
8. Print an Customers Balance Detail report and compare it to the report from your previous accounting system.
