This screen will only display the Customers that have Open Receivables. You can perform a search, and then double-click on the Customer you wish to view details for. This will open the A/R Account detail screen for that particular Customer.
The second way to view an A/R account is to navigate to the tab and click on the icon. This will bring up the A/R Account screen but allows users to use the drop-down menu to select the Customer you wish to view.
