Customer List report—Accounts Receivable
The Customer List report shows you details about your customers, such as location and contact information, pricing details, and payment methods. Current customer balances are also included. Use this report to verify that your customer information is up to date.
If you have not delivered an AR sales invoice to a customer in more than a year, you might want to make that customer inactive.
Who typically needs this report?
- Sales representatives to keep track of which customers are on hold, which have exceeded their credit limit, which have been inactive for a while, and so on.
For information on terms that may differ in your location, see Terminology across locales.

Customize and run
Before running the report, you can select the types of items to include as well as specify how you want the report to appear.
If you want to see every result for a particular category, do not make selections from any of the data entry boxes. You can run this report without entering any search information. If you do that, however, the report may take a long time to run and may return too many results to be useful.
To customize and run a report:
-
Set the filters to get the specific data you want.
Filters enable you to include or exclude specific types of data in the report, such as customer, item, UPC, value, or account. As a general rule, to get fewer and more precise results in your report, set more filters.

Report filters
Use the filters to select what type of information to include in your report. In effect, filters enable you to isolate and assemble just the data you want. You can set any combination of filters.
-
To set the report to show results for a specific customer type, select the Customer type dropdown, and then select the customer type you want the report to cover.
- Partners and direct are two examples of customer types.
-
To set the report to show results for a specific customer or range of customers, use the From customer and To customer dropdown.
How to use the From and To fieldsAll From and To field pairs work the same way. Use them to get search results in as broad or as fine a range as you need, from everything in the system down to a single specific object.
To run this report for a single object:
- From the From dropdown list, select the object you want.
- From the To dropdown list, select the same object.
To run this report for a specific range of objects:
- From the From dropdown list, select the object that you want at the beginning of the range.
- From the To dropdown list, select the object that you want at the end of the range.
To run this report for all objects:
Leave both fields blank.
If you have a large number of objects or the report takes too long to process, use the From and To fields to run a series of smaller reports. For example, you can run five reports, one each for objects whose names begin with A-E, then F-J, K-O, P-T, and U-Z.
An object is a catch-all term that refers to any specific data item in the system. Customers, suppliers, items, and accounts are all examples of objects.
In a multi-entity environment, you can filter by location, department, or both.
To set location and department options:-
To filter the report by geographic location, either enter the name of the region, country, state or territory, or city in the Location dropdown list. Or, select the location from the list.
Enter or select a location if you want to run this report at the top level. The system uses the location that you specify to determine the appropriate currency.
- To filter the report by department within the company, enter the name of the department in the Department dropdown list. Or, select the department from the list.
-
If you want the report to cover certain locations regardless of what's selected in the Location dropdown list, use the Show for dropdown list to select the locations for the report:
- All locations: To include data for all locations regardless of the entity that you're currently using.
- This location: To include data only for the entity that you're currently using.
- Child locations: To include data only for the locations that are child locations of your current entity. For example, if your current entity is California, and you have child locations for San Francisco and Los Angeles, use this option to have the report include data only for Los Angeles and California.
- Select Show only customers exceeding credit limit if you want the report to display only those customers who have exceeded their credit limit.
- Select Show only customers on hold if you want the report to display only those customers whose accounts are on hold.
- Select Include one-time customers if you want the report to display only those customers who've completed a single transaction. Also useful for occasional customers.
Limitation: By default, the From customer and To customer dropdown lists only display up to 1,000 customers. If you have more than 1,000 customers, selecting the dropdown arrow displays the Select customer window instead. You can then use the Select customer window to select the customers to include in the report. You can increase the number of customers who appear on the dropdown lists to 5000 by changing their default setting. To change their default, the Preferences page displays. Scroll down to the Page design section until you see the Show picker for rows above option; select its dropdown arrow and select 5000. Increasing the default enables you to continue using the dropdown option. If you already have more than 5000 customer records, consider making some of the older or unused records inactive to keep your customer list under the 5000 limit.
The following table describes each item in the Filters section of this report settings page:
| Filter Box | Notes |
|---|---|
|
Customer type |
Enables you to get data only for the type of customer you specify here. By default this box is blank, which means the report will get results for all customer types. |
|
From customer, To customer |
Enables you to get data only for that specific customer or range of customers. By default these boxes are blank, which means the report will get results for all customers. |
|
Show only customers exceeding credit limit |
Enables you to get data only for customers who have exceeded their credit limits. This is especially useful if, for example, your organization recently implemented a credit limit feature and you want to see if any of your customers are exceeding the new limits. Another example: To obtain a list of customers to who should receive an "over-the-limit" warning notice. By default this checkbox is clear, which means the report will NOT include these customers. |
|
Show only customers on hold |
Enables you to get data only for those customers whose accounts have been placed on hold. By default this checkbox is clear, which means the report will NOT include these customers. |
|
Include one-time customers |
Enables you to get data only for one-time or very occasional customers. By default this checkbox is clear, which means the report will NOT include these customers. |
The most common reason that you do not see this feature is that you're using a custom view.
When you select a custom view, some options are hidden. Depending on the page you're on, the Include inactive, Include one-time use, Include private, and Display hierarchy options are not visible. For example, if you're viewing from a custom view, the Financial Reports list will not provide the Include inactive option.
To see the options again, switch back to View All. See Custom views for more information.
Formatting
Use the checkboxes in this section to order the report results and to select the report layout.
-
For each category of data you want the report to display, select its checkbox.
- The report fetches this information from the information you provided in the Customer information page of Accounts Receivable.
- Select as many checkboxes as you want.
- If you leave all checkboxes blank, the report will display only the Customer ID, Customer name, Term name, and VAT registration number.
-
Sort the data in the report by category. To do this, select the Sort by dropdown, and then select the sort order you want.
- The abbreviation "desc" after an option means "Descending order", reverse alphabetical or reverse numerical order.
-
Set the report to display the filtered information in a single line format or a multi-line format. The default format is multi-line.
- The single line format displays all of your filtered information on a single line. This produces a much wider report that can extend past a single page, even in landscape mode.
- The multi-line format displays each category of your filtered information on its own line. This can result in a much longer report, but when you print the report it will fit within the width of a page.
The following table describes each item in the Format section of this report settings page:
| Format Box | Notes |
