What does the "Customer Payments Received" report show?

The "Customer Payments Received" report provides a detailed history of payments made by customers for their outstanding invoices. This report is essential for businesses as it allows them to track cash flow by showing all payments received during a specific period. It lists the customers who have made payments, the amounts they have paid, and the dates these payments were recorded. This information is crucial for maintaining accurate financial records, reconciling accounts, and ensuring that outstanding invoices are managed effectively.

In contrast, the other options focus on different aspects of financial reporting: an unpaid invoices summary would track what is yet to be collected; sales comparisons across months would analyze revenue trends; and customer demographics visualization would provide insights into the customer base rather than their payment history. Each serves a distinct purpose within the broader context of business finance, but none offer the detailed view of transactions captured in the "Customer Payments Received" report.
