Custom report settings

By default, your software creates a custom report setting that picks up payments and deductions in the order you created them.

You can choose the order of up to 30 payments and deductions, 10 loans and 13 different types of attachments.

If you run these reports without a custom report setting, the values on the report show as zero and the column headings display Unused.
