# Customer details (AR402000)

Last modified February 19, 2026

> You use this window to track outstanding balances for each customer.


This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

You can select the branch, customer, financial period, currency, and customer ledger account–subaccount pair used for the customer; you then view the list of documents associated with the customer.

By default the window displays the list of open customer documents for the selected customer (with the **Open** status), but you can add to the list closed documents and unreleased documents by selecting the **Show all documents** and **Include unreleased documents** check boxes correspondingly.

You can also print other reports based on this information, which are listed under **Reports** in the upper part of the window.

> [!NOTE]
> Cash sales transactions are shown as split into **Cash sale** and **Cash sale invoice** transactions.
