Manage IOUs from the IOU Report

IOUs are issued to customers who cannot pay for a service on the day of the appointment. Once an IOU is created, it is added to a customer's profile and included in all IOU reports so you can collect payment later.

To manage your IOUs, follow the steps below.

1. Navigate to Reports > IOU.
   
   This opens the IOU report screen, where you can add new IOUs or manage existing ones to edit, void, or pay them.
   

Find IOUs

Use report filters to find specific IOUs.

2. Click Noted By and select an employee to filter the report by the employee who created the IOU.
   Enter a name in the search box for a faster search. (Default: All)
   
3. Click Customer to find a specific customer with an IOU.
   Enter a name in the search box for a faster search. (Default: All)
   
4. Click Status to filter the report by status. (Default: Outstanding)
   
5. Click Run Report.

IOU details on the report include:

• IOU creation date
• IOU closed date (the date an IOU was paid or voided)
• Noted by (the employee who created the IOU)
• Closed by (the employee who voided or processed IOU payment)
• The customer who was issued the IOU
• IOU comments
• IOU status
• The reason for voiding the IOU

You can export an IOU report to an Excel or PDF file or print a physical copy.
