Description: The header section is referred to as the control side. It contains the common data for a client invoice, the Accounts Receivable account and transaction amount.

There are three key fields that uniquely identify a client invoice.

1) The Accounts Receivable account

2) The client

3) The invoice number

Note: With proper permissions, the client or invoice number can be edited on a previously saved record. Select the Notes icon next to each field. No audit is retained on the change.
