The recall feature in CenterPoint can be used to save data entry time in any transaction entry screen. If the Recall button is used, all details from the last transaction for that name (customer, vendor, etc.) are automatically filled into the new transaction including accounts, amounts, notations, etc. Recall is especially useful for transactions that use the same amount and accounts as the original transaction. For example, if you pay the same amount to an internet provider each month and its normally charged to the same account number. Information in the new transaction can be modified after the Recall button has been used. Changes made to the new transaction have no effect on the transaction that was recalled.

Note: You can select the way recalled transactions display by default on the Vendor Invoices (A/P), Payments, Receipts, and Customer Invoices screens to either Recall by Company or Recall by Company and Bank from the Options button.

Note: If a recalled transaction is used and the transaction has inactive accounts included, a warning will display that includes a list of the inactive accounts. You can choose whether to display the warning in the future in File > Preferences > Accounts > Inactive Accounts.

The recall functionality can be used by manually selecting the Recall button in a transaction entry screen or an individual name can be set to automatically Recall the Last Transaction for this Name in a specific transaction entry screen.
