EDIFICE Inquiry - Account Balances View

The Account Balances view offers a comprehensive overview of both summary and detailed account balance information. You can customize the display to focus on exactly what you need. For instance, you can opt to view only active services or hide categories with zero balances.

Helpful badges make it easy to identify key account information, such as whether a customer has a payment plan, automatic ACH payments, third-party auto pay, a short customer note or paperless statements (electronic billing). If the Electronic Billing badge is visible, you can click on it to open the Services view for the account. Additionally, you can access details about interest, budgets, and liens by selecting Financials in the Account Balances toolbar.

 

Tip:  The account balances and the balances view show the same information but in a different format.

 

Directions:

From the Inquiry, click View and then click Account Balances.
