Multiple Tabs in Account Payors

First of all, to everyone who submits questions and comments via the Feedback button, give yourself a quick pat on the back. Your suggestions help guide the development team. Screens often change when new data is required, or when your feedback suggests there may be a more efficient way of doing something.

If it seems that something important has gone missing, has been changed, or doesn't work any more, take a moment to reevaluate the screen and you will likely find something has simply been moved to a new location or renamed. Check the tool-tips to find more helpful information.

In a screen you use as often as Account Payors, it can be confusing at first to find that important fields are missing. Simply scan the page to see what has moved, and check other tabs, and you will likely find what you are looking for:
