Purpose:  To research a single item using ctcLink.

Audience:  Accounts Receivable staff

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

  • ZC AR Customer Maintenance

  • ZZ AR Customer Maintenance

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

There may be occasion to research a single item in ctcLink Receivables. A single item in Receivables is based on:

  • an invoice,
  • a debit memo,
  • or a credit memo.

Receivables enables you to research a significant amount of detail concerning a single item in a short amount of time by grouping the information.

In this topic, you will retrieve item information and record your conversation with a customer regarding the item.
