Click on the Payments Tab which can be found in the Accounting Center section of the Invoicing screen. The payments list contains all of the payments created, sorted by the most recent payments at the top. You, or any other administrator, can adjust performance settings to reduce the number of payments that appear in the list. Additionally, an administrator can choose to block loading until a load button is clicked. If you see a load button appear, simply click it to view the invoices.

A load button appearing on any screen means an administrator chose to block this screen from pre-loading data. This is a performance setting intended to enhance the overall speed of this screen.

There are a variety ways you can filter the payment. You can filter on a particular client code, payment date, or check number. If you want to track it down by size, you can filter a variety of ways on payment amount. You can also filter based on the invoices to which the payment was applied. In this regard you can filter on invoice date, invoice number, and even the billing batch id from which the invoice was produced.
