Credits need to be applied before bulk charging. To bulk charge customers: 1. Go to the navigation bar and click **Accounting**. 2. On the side menu, click **AR Management**. 3. Set the [filter](/construction/docs/send-customer-statements#view-and-print-customer-statements) to narrow your search. 4. Click the **Payment on File** dropdown and select **Yes**. This ensures your search shows only customers who have a payment method on file. > [!NOTE] > **Note:** If a customer has more than one payment method on file, the primary payment method is charged first. If that method is unsuccessful, other payment methods are charged until the payment processes successfully. Charges are made to the most recently added method first. > [!TIP] > **Tip:** To charge customers for their statement balance for a specific date range, use the *From* and *To* filters to enter the dates. For more information, see [Send balance forward statements](/construction/docs/send-balance-forward-statements). 5. When you're done setting your filters, click **Apply**. 6. Select the customers you want to charge. 7. Click the **Actions** dropdown and select **Charge Balance**. > [!NOTE] > **Note:** Payments made up to the current date are deducted from the *Statement Balance* and the *Outstanding Balance* so the customer is charged the correct amount. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/bulk-charge-customers-image-ar2ned0e.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-31T01%3A35%3A54Z&se=2026-10-31T02%3A35%3A54Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=FxgytPCOCiaFHxgAOx6XHj%2BnEHKetx4dfREamN5GyPQ%3D) The *Charge Balance* pop-up opens. 8.
